d3sons Posts: 5 Registered: Jan 2007	posted 01-18-2007 07:09 PM [26-1321] Hi: I have had this serving dish for many many years, picked it up because I liked it. Sorry it is not cleaned, i have only done that once and it looked very nice. I would like to know more about it. I do know that the EPNS means and I know the 1801 is a factory id# but what about the "pineapple" mark before the EPNS. It states" Made in England. Any help would be wonderful as I have searched for a very long time. I enjoy"the hunt" Thanks for any and all input. Dee IP: Logged

They were established in 1833 and produced until just before the first World War". Regards Waylander IP: Logged
