I have a piece of Rhine pottery. It is a pitcher. Very beautiful. I bought it at a garage sale for .25!!!!! I love it. I would imagine that at some point it probably had a basin that went w/ it but that was not w/ it when i bouught it. I didn't even think to ask when I bought it.
It was an occupation in the early days of the pottery industry in Stoke on Trent, England. A sagger was a a large oval container made out of clay, it was filled with unfired pottery and then stacked up in a bottle kiln to be fired. The 'bottom knocker' was the apprentice who made (or knocked) the bottom of the sagger ready for the sagger maker to build into the sagger.
unless it is marked with hull or oven proof - usa it is not hull! McCoy and Pfister make similar "Brown drip pottery, but the are marked differently on the bottom.
Probably just a code used in the factory for that shape/pattern
no

If it is on the bottom of the pot it will be the number given to that shape of pot, or the style of decoration, for use in the factory or workshop.
