Heraldic or Crested China

Crested china is the name for small porcelain souvenirs printed with civic arms from the early 20th century typical for United Kingdom. It is part of the larger category of Heraldic souvenir ware. These small items were issued in a large number of shapes and sizes, but were generally only a few cm high. They were issued by a number of companies in the United Kingdom and were enormously popular. There are therefore tens of thousands of these small items known. Below a small collection of such items.
