Crown Staffordshire Fine Bone China Backstamp

This image displays a manufacturer's backstamp located on the base of a piece of fine bone china produced by Crown Staffordshire. The mark is printed in a dark green or black pigment beneath a translucent glaze. The stamp features a central crown icon flanked by the text 'ESTD 1801'. Below the crown is an intricate intertwined 'CS' monogram. Arched above are the words 'FINE BONE CHINA' and 'CROWN', while arched below are 'STAFFORDSHIRE' and 'ENGLAND'. The porcelain itself appears as a high-quality, creamy white vitreous body, characteristic of mid-20th-century English ceramics. Based on the specific configuration of this 'Crown' and 'England' mark, the piece likely dates from the period of approximately 1930 to 1950. The surface shows minor signs of aging including some slight discoloration or a small brown speck of debris, but the ceramic body appears structurally sound without visible cracks or significant crazing in the immediate area of the mark. The precision of the stamp indicates professional manufacturing standards consistent with the Staffordshire pottery district's industrial heritage.
