Very attractive pattern. What are you basing "George Jones and sons" on? If it is imprinted (or placed in any way, shape or form) on the bottom, could we have a shot of that as well, please?Carolyn
You could scroll through the patterns on replacements.com and see if you can find the pattern (if you haven't already done so)http://www.replacements.com/china/JON.htm
In about 1907 the Trent Pottery was renamed the Crescent Pottery After 1924 most of the ware bore the name "CRESCENT" - some ware had the name CRESCENT as early as 1893.However the marks on the left are probably pre 1921 as they have "ENGLAND" and not "MADE IN ENGLAND"It was William McKinley (the 25th president of the USA) who introduced the highly protectionist McKinley Tariff Act of 1890 - this imposed tariffs on many imports (including pottery) in order to make it easier for the American manufacturers to sell their products. It was a requirement of this Act that all such imports carried the name of the country of manufacture. .... In 1921 the Act was amended to require the phrase "Made in" preceding the country of origin, The labeling at individual British potteries varies somewhat from the 1891/1921 dating requirements described above (e.g., Wedgwood adopted the "Made in England" around 1908/10 and may have used it on some pieces as early as 1898),
Spider, welcome to the board. You've probably already found the list of marks on The Potteries website, where it says, Like you, I haven't managed to find a match for this pattern yet though, but I'll see what else I can find!
