The Crown Staffordshire name came into being in 1903. Wedgwood became the owner of the Pottery in 1974 and the Crown Staffordshire name was discontinued in 1985 when Coalport production was moved to the Minerva works at that time.
(The EST 1801 on the stamp refers to the Minerva works pottery that started production in 1801.)
