This coffee and creamer set was given to my best friend's mother's mother. I redid the coffee pot mark and it says Lighthouse (i think) Made in England.
I've really spent too much time this am trying to pic around. My common sense says to "keep it moving" but I hope by making the mark bigger, it was easier to read.

My friend said these two items were given to her father by his mother. I did get her to sit down and tell me as much as she can remember about the items in her mother's house.
Lighthouse made in England
I went back to make it clearer and I see it's still upside down.
But I did read it differently up close.
Thanks for that. I was wondering why with such a distinctive seal or stamp that it would be so difficult to find. But for the last three days, I see that there is a whole lot of work. That's why I'm trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can.
Thank you for your info!
You might like to research Wedgwood Osborne China. You have the pattern number on the bottom.
I did research both and will continue in that direction.
Thank you for your comments.
Still researching, but that pattern number is elusive on both Osborne China and Wedgwood. Will continue to research...
