T.G. Green Coddlers

T.G. Green coddlers were made in England. They are known to exist in one size, and that is somewhat larger than most double sized coddlers. Measurements of some examples are 4 ½ inches to the top of the lifting ring, and 3 inches in diameter.

There are variations in body types and lids, which will be covered in detail with each pattern.

Backstamps

There are three "generic" T.G. Green backstamps that may occur with some patterns. In some cases, these backstamps occur with the pattern name stamped on as well. In many cases, the backstamps are difficult to read, either due to poor imprinting, or wear and tear.

Backstamp Type 1 consists of the image of a church, the words T.G.GREEN Ltd, CHURCH GRESLEY, and MADE IN ENGLAND in three lines below the church.

Backstamp Type 2 consists of the words OVEN TO TABLEWARE above a smaller image of a church. There is a date in Roman Numerals below the church. In a circle surrounding them are the words: DETERGENT ALKALI & ACID RESISTANT, MADE IN ENGLAND, GRESLEY, T.G.GREEN LTD..

Backstamp Type 3 is very similar to Type 2. There is a circle of writing imprinted, and inside the circle, at the bottom, is a smaller image of a church. There is a date in Roman Numerals below the church. In the circle are the words: ALKALI & ACID RESISTANT, MADE IN ENGLAND, GRESLEY, T.G.GREEN LTD.. There is an additional phrase that I can't make out.

Backstamp Type 4 consists of the words MADE IN, and ENGLAND in two lines in the centre of the coddler.

Backstamp Type 5 consists of the words OVEN TO TABLEWARE and MADE IN ENGLAND in two lines in the centre of the coddler.
