The caption says 1789 was added after a 1947 takeover; the maker history gives a different corporate sequence.
Notes
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.
