Hi Keith

I have a sneaky suspicion (although I can't confirm it because my main reference English pottery mark encyclopedia does not mention the CROWN CHATEAU trade-mark at all) that the CROWN CHATEAU CHINA is a pottery marking of Wild Bros - 1904 to 1927.

They were china manufacturers operating out of the Edensor Crown China Works and the Salisbury Crown China Works in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.

They had several different marks mostly incorporating a crown device, and sometimes using the initials J. S. W. Latterly, the J S W was intertwined beneath the crown logo.

The following page is a 'must see' if you are researching fine china - for value and identification:-
