Crossed double key marks - possibly Crosskeys Pottery Jan & Zoe Ellison
Hi,
Does anyone recognise this mark? Its in the form of a double key and possibly with the initials D E. It is on both of these vases that were bought in the 50s/60s apparently. Many thanks

The Crosskeys Pottery was run by Jan & Zoe Ellison and based in Cambridgeshire.
I think Zoe continued to pot until 1986 but this mark dates from 1950 to 1961.

Jan or Zoe Ellison Teacups, Cross Keys / Crosskeys Pottery
Have inherited this pair of teacups. They are from the Ellisons pottery in the 60's. I suspect they are jan's. What do you think?

Thanks ! I am a novice and got to the Ellisons by researching this mark. The black glaze makes it difficult to photograph. Are the Ellisons collectible?As I say I am a complete novice regarding studio pottery.

They are not one of the well known names in studio pottery, but they are a nice pair of cups & saucers. depends on how much nice pairs of studio cups and saucers are going for on eBay right now.
