Hi
I have been trying to find out a bit of information about an old
teapot we have.
It is marked on the underside with "Heron Cross Stoke on Trent".

The mark is a globe with what look like longitude and latitude lines.
It has a banner wrapped around it with the words "Heron Cross".
Stoke on Trent is written underneath the globe, and there is a crown
and GB above the globe.

I think the pattern No is 721F, and it is embossed with "PEARL" and a
registration mark which I can`t make out.

Any information, or links to any helpful sites would be very much
appreciated!
Thanks
Elaine

I have seen responses to this type of question before so I would not give up
hope but you should know that this is about the craft of pottery and not
about collectibles. You would do better to do a internet search or call the
pottery.

(these lines will be broken more than likely so you will have to cut and
paste).
