• Regal Pottery was a successor business to Richardsons (Cobridge) Ltd who also used the 'Regal Ware' trade name. Both companies were associated with Albert G. Richardson 

• Regal Pottery was a Listed Exhibitor at the 1929 British Industries Fair. Manufacturers of Dinner, Tea, Toilet and Fancy Goods, on White or Ivory Body, for either Home or Export Markets. Shapes and designs of the most modern type. (Stand No. G.46).

• The business became insolvent and a decision made in May 1931 that the company be voluntarily wound up. The chairman at the time was E. N. W. Bennett. 

The name C.H. Burton appears as part of the printed backstamp on a wide range of Regal Pottery hand-painted wares. 

• Although often described as the painter, the appearance of the mark on numerous different shapes and patterns suggests that Burton was more likely the designer or artistic director responsible for the patterns, rather than the individual decorator of each piece. 

• The small hand painted marks sometimes found on individual items may instead identify the decorators who carried out the work.

• The hand painted numbers are possibly a pattern reference.
