    I would appreciate any information on this pretty porcelain pot with gilt trim.
    I would love to know the company who made this, what country and the age.
    Thank you

      I believe your mark is an overmark.

      Here's a link I found about overmarks..

      "The hand-painted Crown marks on your pieces are actually "overmarks", which are usually applied by a Retailer or a Trading company (Importers or Exporters) in order to conceal the original manufacturer or supplier source. This practice was most common ca 1900 - 1930s, which probably dates your Set."

      See those link and the similar crown mark..

      I am correct that it is a chocolate pot? Thank you in advance.

      "a tea pot is short and stout, a coffee pot is tall and stout and a chocolate pot is tall and slim. Because all 3 liquids are different, their pourers will also be different. For example, in a tea pot, the spout will be lower to the bottom of the pot while a chocolate pot will have the shortest stout."

      I believe this is a tea pot..
