Does anyone know who made the pottery with a blue crowned a makers mark?

I have a little ceramic pig with a blue label on the bottom which is an A, with a crown above. Does anyone know who is the manufacturer?

Without a brand image is more difficult to say. Here are a couple of search links. Since you have the item, it should be easier to find. http://www.perfectpieces.co.uk http://www.figurines-sculpture.com/pottery-marks.html http://www.ceramic-link.de/Seiten/ICD-Historical2.htm / potterymarks.php
