1982-1999 This is when Dishwasher and Microwave proof were added and it
became increasingly smaller. Also added are a very small 8 and 2 right below
the Portmeirion but above the 1972.
The 8 and 2 do not appear on any backstamp
before 1982. All BG backstamps between 1982 and 1999 have the
figures 8 and 2 in the backstamp. In this picture the 8 and 2 are
featured on a Cotton Barbados Flower plate.
Also very rarely seen are the numbers 8 and 4. |
