english pottery hallmarks
English crown ceramic seal information?

Hi there! I was wondering if someone could tell me what the different types of ceramic crown found in English to mean. Does anyone know the sites of history in relation to the crowns, or anyone has any information? And can anyone tell me what a crown with 2 crosses on either side of its center and a cross on top with what appears on the base 3 dashes mean? What period does it represent? Thank you!

Your best bet is to go online and search the records of English pottery marks. There are several. If that fails to give you exactly what you want to go to the library largest public and check your local ceramic references. You can not have the exact part you have, but must have a clear idea of when and why the company was made.
