The following gallery is probably the most complete work anywhere worldwide as a historical guide to T.G. Green backstamps found on the ‘Cornish Kitchen Ware’ range. This gallery purely comprises backstamps found on Cornishware (i.e. the blue & white striped etc) - it does not encompass other T.G. Green patterns although some of the backstamps were also used on them. You can click on any photo for a larger image & more information on a particular backstamp with some snippets of historical information, or scroll through them 1 by 1. If you think you have a genuine backstamp not pictured below, please do email it along with pictures of the piece and we will include it on the site with a credit to you for the photo if we agree that it appears to be genuine. Note that it is in pseudo ‘chronological order’ i.e. earliest first, most recent last.
