Pottery Mark Query - Incised 3 Point Crown Above Sunburst on Lobster Trinket Box

Pottery Mark Query - Incised 3 Point Crown Above Sunburst on Lobster Trinket Box:- I have a pottery lobster box that is 4 inches long and about 2 1/2 inches tall. I would like to know the origin but can not find a mark that resembles the one on the bottom. The mark is a three point crown that appears to be attached to a sunburst. Inside the sunburst there are depressions but I can not make out any letters or symbols. Also the number 7955 is stamped on the bottom of the box. The lobster is a deep orange with many details. I bought it many years ago and have recently become curious as to where it was made.

Hi Cynthia

I was wondering where you got it, because with your location, it could be a small local maker and be some type of souvenir ware maybe. I'll leave this one for others to answer - check out the posts just below here.
