Royal Tuscan

 Today I was very lucky to pick up a pair of these dainty little dishes from the local charity shop. The pottery mark is Royal Tuscan and the pattern name is Woodland Viola.
Modern marks incorporate the name 'ROYAL TUSCAN'
(Note the trademark "wings")

the trade name Tuscan China was
introduced in 1902 and nearly all marks from this
date incorporated the name along with the
characteristic 'wings'
