I’ll add a bit more info to this thread about a couple of other manufacturers of RCAF dishes, both with Queen’s crown crests and dating from the 50’s or 60’s.

I recently came across a 10” dinner plate with a “Sovereign Potters Hotel China” back-stamp. Sovereign was a manufacturer of dishes and potteries in Hamilton Ontario circa 1933 to 1973 but apparently most active around the 2nd world war. One of my plate examples is dated to (19)56. The RCAF crest on the front of the plate is finer in detail than those seen on other RCAF pottery.

A line of simple dinnerware under the name of “Duraline” was made by Grindley in England for the RCAF. All of the examples I own date from the 1960’s. The company manufactured coffee cups, 5 ¾” saucers, both 7 and 8” plates and water pitchers to name a few items. Two examples of back-stamps are illustrated.
