The seal...Maybe I can help clear up the mystery...<br /><br />The seal that is shown on each of these pieces is actually the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom and dates back in differing forms more than 900 years. The lion on the left represents England and the unicorn on the right represents Scotland.<br /><br />You can see different mottoes on these back stamps. The banner across the bottom says “Dieu et Mon Droit” which means “God and my right.” That is the motto of the British monarchs. The second banner features the motto of the Order of the Garter. Also in French, “Honi soit qui mal y pense” means “Evil to him who evil thinks.” Both phrases should appear on the Royal Coat of Arms but the small size of the back stamps probably made that difficult.<br /><br />Each of these companies was British so it makes sense that they would feature the Royal Coat of Arms. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552601605899364897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004276822099257887.post-13041734326900770462011-02-11T13:36:06.054-05:002011-02-11T13:36:06.054-05:00I love Ironstone sooooo much...thanks for visiting...I love Ironstone sooooo much...thanks for visiting my blog...we have a lot in common.
