Hi Sally

Thanks for sharing your mark photo.

It would have been great to see the actual items also. Remember, this public forum is for the benefit of all, acting as a valuable 'public record'. It sometimes gets mistaken for a free identification service.

Here is the submission form for this public pottery marks forum for those wanting to go to the ‘submit form’.

According to Goddens your mark appears exclusively from 1906 as a mark used for Crown Staffordshire's copies of antique porcelains. More than that, you would have to ask an expert china appraiser.

As for valuations, the value of vintage and antique china is, like anything else, subject to the whims and fancies of fashion. What is 'in' one moment and fetching high prices, is 'out' the next.....and visa versa. This is why we are best to consult experts.

Howerver, it is actually quite easy to get a feel of the value of your wares yourself just by looking online in the right places. I tell you how on this page:- Researching the identity and value of antique and vintage fine china..

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
