1789 Adderley fine bone china England
The caption says 1789 was added after a 1947 takeover; the maker history gives a different corporate sequence.

The printed 1789 is a historical establishment claim, not this mark's date. The caption's attribution of the 1947 takeover to Ridgway conflicts with the source history, which names Lawleys and places Ridgway Potteries in 1955.
About Adderleys Ltd
Adderleys manufactured china and earthenware at Daisy Bank Pottery in Longton, following W. A. Adderley & Co. Production stopped in 1941 under wartime concentration and resumed in 1945. The source history records acquisition by Lawleys in 1947, combination with Ridgways (Bedford Works) as Ridgway & Adderley in 1952, and inclusion in Ridgway Potteries in 1955. The Adderley and Royal Adderley brands continued under successor companies into the mid-1970s.
