Debolt's Dictionary of American Pottery Marks: Whiteware and Porcelain,
page 42, shows several maker's marks from the Dresden Pottery in East
Liverpool, Ohio that are similar to what you describe. STONE CHINA over
the Royal Coat of Arms (both the lion an unicorn are standing) and a
shield intertwined with P and C. It says the monogram PC stands for
Potters' Cooperative, which the Dresden Pottery was known as for about ten
years beginning in 1882. In this mark however, below the coat of arms is
T.P.C.Co., and not T.S.C.P.Co. as on your mark. Hope this helps.
