This is the 'Homemaker' pattern by Ridgway, I have yet to see another with a yellow base.

There's no backstamp but the lid fits perfectly. 

There's a mention on Retroselect of a rare yellow colour. It's been months now and I haven't spotted a yellow one, just the odd black one here and there.

At last, I have found a yellow one, only it's not the same... 

I wonder if it's yellow underneath.

I suppose it's possible that you have a Homemaker lid but a Ridgway base from another range

It's funny you should say that as I received a polite email from Simon Moss (Book: Homemaker, a 1950s Design Classic) saying just that, it's a marriage.  

All I need now is the bottom half. I paid about £2 for it so no worries.

Ding dong the bells are gonna chime.

If your lid is in good nick it's probably got resale value because they're the bits that get dropped

He more or less said that too.
