The underside of the cream jug bears a printed mark in orange-brown ink, featuring a central crown device. Above the crown is the text CHINA, and it is flanked by the curved words PARKDALE. Beneath the crown are the words MADE IN ENGLAND. A small, hand-painted mark in brown resembling a wavy line or the numeral 3 is also present on the base.
