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).

Or you might find ebay items to compare yours to.
