I found this firm on the Potteries Website. Can you confirm that this must date 1935-1937.  I thought it was candle wax, or similar, covering the backstamp, but it's some sort of spillage! Thank you. S. Hancock & Sons (Staffs). Corona Ware, etc. 20140131

The company was originally Sampson Hancock and later Sons was added. However, for the last 2 years that they were in existance (1935 to 37) they were S. Hancock & Sons Ltd (Ltd added) and the pottery was renamed "Corona Pottery". So my source (Godden) agrees with the website that you looked at.

I have here a lovely hand painted Parrot made by Hancock & Son, Stoke-on-Trent Potteries England. What do you think on this pottery.

Generally speaking I think that dark/black backgrounds denote the 1920s when considering factory made wares from the Potteries. Obviously, they would have carried on into the 1930s but once the bright designs of Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper became popular the colour palette changed quickly.
