What is a Diamond Mark? During the period 1842-1883 the British Patent Office issued a diamond mark along with the registration number when a design was registered. As well as showing that the design had been registered, diamond mark offered the buyer the reassurance of knowing an item was of British design. It also assured the person registering the design a degree of protection from copying. The protection was dependent on the type of material and the class in which the product was placed. The mark was created to identify the type of material used (known as the class), how many items were included, (sometimes known as bundles or packages, and the date of registration. Note that the registration number does not form part of the mark. The centre is occupied by the abbreviation Rd signifying that this is a Patent Office mark standing for Registered Design.

How to understand the mark?
1) What 'class' is the material? The Roman numeral at the top of the diamond indicated the 'class' or type of material used - for example III was for glass ware and IV was for clay ware.

2) What year range is the mark from?
There are two ranges of year codes; 1842-1867 & 1868-1883. At first glance they look the same but if you look closely you can see that some have a number at the right hand corner and some have a letter. If there is a number at the right hand corner of the diamond then it is in the 1842-1867 range If there is a letter at the right hand corner of the diamond then it is in the 1868-1883 range number at the right hand corner of the diamond 1842-1867 range

You can ignore the number at the bottom of the diamond - this tells us how many items were included in the registration, (sometimes known as bundles or packages).
From the other numbers and letters we can work out the date of the registration.
