Registration numbers first started to be issued in 1884 and replaced the previous diamond mark which was proving to be extremely difficult to read once it was covered in glaze. These numbers only indicate the year that the pattern was first registered. Some patterns were in production for many years so this list only determines when the pattern was first made, not necessarily when your piece was made. It does however, indicate that a piece cannot possibly be older than the date of registration. These registry numbers are not exclusive to any one particular maker or material. They will work for any glass, pottery and metal items registered in England.

Notes: In August 1989 they began with the number 2000000 so 1989 is broken down in two parts. The final number used in 1997 is unknown so 1997 and 1998 are combined. The last 3000000 series number used in September or October 2006 is unknown. New laws required that numbering begin with 4000000 sometime in October 2006.
