Beswick animals and Beatrix Potter figures are among the most popular British ceramic collectables.
History
John Beswick's pottery in Longton made animal figures, horses and character pieces; the Beatrix Potter series began in 1948. The firm later became part of Royal Doulton.
How to read the marks and date it
Beswick backstamps changed over time; for Beatrix Potter figures, early gold backstamps are the most collectable, followed by later brown and other marks. Model numbers and colourways identify each figure.
