Antique Bone China Query - Artone Bone China - "made in England":

Hello Dear Visitor

Thank you for taking the time to ask your query about Artone Pottery. Artone China began in 1946 in Burslem, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, England. I don't have any record of it ever closing down, so it may well still be operating. You could check by looking in the Stoke phone book.

A small company, they specialized in hand painted bone china 'studio' type items such as flowers, fancies and figures. Their characteristic potters mark is a the outline of a painter's palette with a printed mark within.

I enclose a photo above of some typical Artone wares.

Hope this helps with your query.
