China mark query - S.P.P. underneath a crown between 2 feathered wings

China mark query - S.P.P. underneath a crown between 2 feathered wings:- I have a bone china tea set with the inscription S.P.P. underneath a crown between 2 feathered wings. As far as I'm aware, it was brought back from the far east by my late grandmother. Looking to see how much the whole set would be worth.

Thanks for your interesting query.

I can see you borrowed the pics from this page:- SPP Japanese Marks at Gotheborg.

Gothegorg are the best of breed on oriental marks, so I can't add the the knowledge base on this one. They say the SPP mark "seems to date to the period immediately after the second WW, i.e. late 1940's-early 1950's".

HERE'S A TOP TIP IF SELLING ON EBAY:-


A mistake many people make when trying to sell wares on Ebay is not to upload a photograph of the pottery mark.

Serious buyers will ALWAYS want to see the mark before buying. To save yourself hassle, the best way to ‘photograph’ the mark so as to give collectors the best view is to place the item on a scanner and ‘scan’ the pottery mark. This almost always gives a better result than a photograph (you see lots of blurred photos on ebay from sellers who could do with this tip!)

That tip is courtesy of friend of the site, Terry Gibbs who runs a private ebay forum which gives a lot of useful tips for eBay sellers. There is a small charge to join - to pay for the admin & upkeep (quite right too!). I am proud to be an affiliate of Terry's (he IS Jeff Albertson the 'Comic Book Guy' from the Simpsons!

Yes I borrowed that pic, as I was going to add that one as it has a good pic of the stamp, and the set i own but I couldnt upload the 2 photos. Yeah I saw that it was dated to around that time.

The only thing I can add is the wares must have been the typical 'Occupied Japan' type wares made specifically for export. These type of wares always had very European looking labels rather than Japanses characters.

What they did was to look at the typical pottery marks of the European makers and come up with an 'homage'.

For example, there are similar type of circular laurel & crown style marks by the following companies:-

Kunst Kronach, Bavaria

Meakins, Tunstall

Crownford, Burslem

Edwin Bennett Pottery Co, Baltimore (E B P Co)

Duchess China (A T Finney & Sons), Longton

A G Harley Jones (H J), Fenton

Geo Borgfeldt (Coronet), New York

Maling Pottery (Coronet and Willowware), Newcalstle-upon-Tyne

Crown Staffordshire, Fenton

Von Schierholz's Porcelain, Thuringia

W T Copeland & Sons (Copeland & Garrett), Stoke

etc etc
