Does anyone recognise this back-stamp?

Hi, I was given this cup & saucer set but I have not been able to find this backstamp anywhere. Just wondering if anyone knows who the maker is. Replacements.com are unable to identify the pattern. The backstamp is only on the saucer and not the cup.The pattern looks like ?hollyhocks. thanks Sue

Unicode name - Place of interest sign

It's also the command key on a mac keyboard

So not related to pottery.

If OP can determine where the image on the plate and cup is from then yes as the symbol represents that place of interest.

Thanks for your help - It looks like an English scene with the hollyhocks & a bridge so I guess it could be anywhere!

The hollyhock is native to Asia and Europe so I'm just taking a stab in the dark and Germany comes to mind?

Instyle,  It's Art Deco design.  ie 1920', 1930's

Tell me how that relates to a computer symbol?

OP it could be the painter's mark and the pottery maker would be on other pieces in the set.

I've trawled through my Goddddard's book of china marks (twice) and can't find anything - sorry

It's also the symbol on a mac keyboard for command check out the mac keyboard 

Which obviuosly has nothing to do with the plate but that's what it also is.

My first answer to what it is place of interest sign is what it actually is, so if you can't find anything on it well that's your problem not mine.

This is the second time you've undermind me have I done something to annoy you?

This is a unicode symbol that's used in Excel and the image means Place of Interest so as it doesn't specifically show on the plate where it's from I then asked OP that perhaps if they knew something about the painting of the hollyhocks that may be useful in knowing where it's from.

Hollyhocks originated in Asia and Europe so knowing that Germany is one of the main origins of hollyhocks I then stated that perhaps that's where it's from, just a theory maybe wrong maybe right.

No need for you to come in totally throwing my thoughts on it out the window when I know what I'm saying is correct.
