When was Aynsley Cottage Garden made?

Cottage Garden is often dated based on pattern databases and conversion services rather than a single published factory catalogue. One major conversion website describes Cottage Garden as being made from about 1970 to 2001 and indicates that production is associated with the „Swirl Portland“ family of forms, with some pieces also made in other forms. Consider these dates as a practical guide to collecting: many Cottage Garden pieces on the market correspond to late 20th century stamps marked "Fine Bone China" and "Made in England." If you need an exact year, look for a stamp variant that includes a registration mark or factory code, then compare it to a reliable stamp chart from a specialist. Many collectors find it easier to date by decade, using changes in mark style and product format, as teapot shapes changed throughout late 20th century production.
