Looks fake to me. Never seen that mark before but it's terrible.

I have seen that mark before on some rather inexpensive tableware from the 50`s or 60`s !!  Don`t remember where I saw it though !!  Its a very contemporary mark !!  Tableware was a chintz like set similar to floral design on your trinket box !!  You can likely find some similar on ebay !!

Doesn't look right, Mart. That crown wouldn't be used in the UK.

It's also poorly applied.

I'm glad Louise likes it, and cares about it enough to post. Chintzy as it may be, it looks like they were going for a Victorian nostalgia look.

Didn`t mean it was actually made in the UK !!  Think its a Japanese or similarly made copy or fake mark !!
