Description & date  

"TUNSTALL" was used on some Adams marks from 1896+

However this mark does not have 'ENGLAND' which was added to ware for export to the Americas from 1891. 

So this mark was either not for export (unlikely) or was an earlier use of the town name Tunstall (where the Admas pottery were were based)

"TUNSTALL" was used on some Adams marks from 1896+
