W H Grindley was an English pottery company that made earthenware and ironstone tableware. William Harry Grindley of Tunstall, Stoke-On-Trent England, founded the company in 1880. W H Grindley was taken over by Alfred Clough in 1960 and became known as Grindley of Stoke in 1978. The china was produced for Canadian, United States, South American, and Australian markets. It has the Roslyn pattern that is a pink rose and vine rim, center bud, with scallop edge, and there is some gold term on the handles and a emboss design on the handles. It has the green circle wreath hallmark on the back that indicates it could be from the years 1914 to 1925 and has a red stamp with Roslyn which is the name of the pattern. At the top of the wreath is the words “The Duchess” this is where the mystery starts. I did find one location that mentions the word “Duchess” without the word “the” which had a list of other patterns names in hyperlink, but duchess was not in a hyperlink. I believe Duchess refers to the plater's style or design. There is a number that was stamped into the platter when the clay was wet which are 57 which could indicate year, plant, mold, refers to batch number, etc. There is one small chip on the underside. (see photo) other than that, it is in excellent condition with no cracks, necks, repairs, fleabites, or stains.
