Dear Elizabeth

Well! You have me stumped. I have some serious reference encyclopedias at my disposal and none of them mention a china manufacturer spelled Hammersly. There are several spelled Hammersley. The most comprehensive online gallery of makers and patterns in the history of the industry can be found on the award winning site, replacements.com (go to my China Replacement page for a link) - and they don't mention a Hammersly only Hammersley.

You mention a pottery mark with a Royal Crest. I can sometimes identify a china manufacturer by looking up the pottery mark - so a picture would be a great help.

My theory is this: Hammersly is a very small local maker or had a very brief history, and has been overlooked by the reference books. It could also be a modern maker maybe. It would most definitely be included in the records otherwise.

I would be as interested as you to find out. You might want to invest in a 'Classic Appraisal' ($9.95 USD) at my colleagues site

www.figurines-sculpture.com/whats-it-worth page

they have a team of enthusiastic specialist collectors and experts on hand to answer queries in detail. It is well worth it and cheap as chips.

I also recommend to visitors

because this really help people who are catching the china antiquing bug (easily done)!

Please keep us posted if you are able to find out any more info on the mysterious Hammersly.

Best regards

Hi,

Did you ever discover anything about "Hammersly" china? I just purchased a set of it which is quite nice, but I've been unable to find anything out about the maker. I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

Hammersley, not Hammersly
by: Anonymous

I'm sitting here looking at a Hammersley & Co. teacup. So at least some bone china manufacturer spells it this way.

========================================

Peter (admin says):- There are several known pottery companies spelled Hammersley, but none that I can find called 'Hammersly'. Any solutions to this thorny one please post here.

I have some hammersly fine bone china with the royala crest called autumn gold with a signature painted on to it of K Sull or K Sall, but I can find no record of this anywhere, it is quite beautiful and given to me by my sister, it is part of a dinner service. Would be interested in any information
