Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory's famous gold anchor mark, which was used in the mid-18th century (circa 1756-1769). Chelsea was one of the earliest and most prestigious English porcelain manufacturers, known for producing high-quality, Rococo-style figurines, often influenced by Meissen and French Sèvres porcelain.
Gold Anchor Mark: If the anchor mark is hand-painted in gold (rather than red or blue), it aligns with Chelsea's gold anchor period (1756-1769).
The gilt pinwheel mark is a distinguishing feature found on certain Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory figures and wares, particularly those from the Gold Anchor period (c. 1756-1769). It is often a small, gilded motif resembling a stylized pinwheel, rosette, or sunburst and is usually applied to porcelain bases or decorative elements.
