Pottery Marks - CROWN CHATEAU CHINA - Wild Bros? - Pottery Mark Query: I have a 6 Piece tea service with following china mark: A crown, and in the centre of the crown the words "chateau china" then "made in England". It has been in the family for at least 100 years. I can find no trace of it can you?
Reply by Peter (admin) To:- Pottery Marks - CROWN CHATEAU CHINA - Wild Bros? query 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. So you now have three options: you can continue with your own pottery marks research, you can hope that someone knowledgable stumbles across this thread and leaves a reply, or you can use a professional appraisal service to save time and effort. If you'd like a professional opinion, feel free to use my ‘fast track to an expert’ page.
