Anyone identify this?

This was given to me as a small child and was always referred to as 'Lucy Locket". I live in the potteries anyway so could be any of the local manufacturers. I have never seen another one despite looking for years. She has a look of Sylvac about her, but has no markings other than a few numbers on the base.
I would love to finally be able to put a name to her, she has massive sentimental value to me as she was given to me by my late dad.

    Please post a pic as I'm intrigued now!

    It is a shame that Apprentice Tycoon is no longer on the boards she was a whizz at all china and collectables and often gave me very good pointers about the more obscure stuff I came across.

    Your twitpic link doesn't work.

    Have you tried googling the numbers on the base + pottery?

    For some reason she's shouting 'Scandinavian' to me, not British...??
    I may be well off the mark though, I've not seen another like it.

    Thanks Norma. She is strange, quite odd looking really but she has been with me for 32 years now and I love her to bits. She doesnt look 70's to me and I'm wondering if she was made in the 60's and perhaps passed on?

  • I don't know if you have tried this site, but it contains some useful info. You can email them and they will try and identify your item/elusive mark. There is also a link to useful books to help identify objects. You could be really cheeky and ask your library to get a copy for you. :)
