The base is finished in a pale green glaze and is impressed with the word MOORCROFT in capital letters. Below this, the words MADE IN ENGLAND are impressed in two lines next to the impressed numerals 782. A hand-painted initial in green pigment, possibly a J?, is also present on the underside. The base exhibits three small, circular kiln stilt marks from the firing process.
