Earthenware and Ironstone manufacturers at Fenton Potteries, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, England.

• The partners were Edward & Charles Challinor.  Charles had many other business interests and also owned a nearby 'Stilt & Spur Works' and the Glebe Colliery. 

• There was also the partnership of Challinor and Mayer at the same factory.

• From 1892 Charles continued the business as C. Challinor & Co.

NOTE: 

Because original Challinor pottery is both collectable and readily recognisable, modern wares bearing similar backstamps have occasionally been mistaken for genuine Victorian production. 
These reproductions are typically found on Willow pattern tableware and other decorative pieces manufactured in China or Japan during the late twentieth century. » explore further

"This was established in 1825, by Messrs. C. J. & G. M. Mason,.... Messrs. Mason were succeeded by Mr. Samuel Boyle, from whom the works passed into the hands of Messrs. E. & C. Challinor, formerly E. Challinor & Co. of Sandyford and Tunstall, who still carry them on. 

The goods produced are white granite, printed, sponged, and common earthenware, for the American, Australian, and other foreign and colonial markets. In these, tea, coffee, breakfast, dinner, toilet, and other services, and all the usual useful articles, are largely produced. 

The white granite, or ironstone china, is of good, hard, sound, and durable quality ; some of their most successful embossed patterns being the Ceres or Wheat, the Garland, and the Vine-leaf patterns. In jugs, Messrs. Challinor produce the Ceres or Wheat, Paris, Garland, Barberry, Lily, Missouri, Florence, Versailles, Lotus or Cora, and other shapes, both plain and embossed. 

The earthenware is of the ordinary common quality, specially designed and well adapted for the various markets to which it is sent.

The marks are the Staffordshire knot impressed in the ware, with or without the words: E & C CHALLINOR, FENTON; E & C CHALLINOR; IRONSTONE CHINA E & C CHALLINOR, within an ornamental border, surmounted by the royal arms, &c., also impressed in the ware; and the following printed on the surface : the royal arms with crown, supporters, motto, &c., and, beneath, a ribbon with IRONSTONE CHINA, E & C CHALLINOR FENTON ; the name of the pattern, as " Australia," " Gothic," "Portland," &c. within various borders, &c., and the name E & C CHALLINOR, or E & C C."

The IVY pattern is not one of the more commonly encountered designs produced by Edward & Charles Challinor. The transfer-printed pattern features ivy leaves and berries in dark green. 

Ivy was a popular decorative motif during the Victorian period, symbolising fidelity and everlasting life, and similar transfer-printed ivy patterns were also produced by leading Staffordshire manufacturers including Wedgwood and Copeland, reflecting the widespread popularity of this elegant botanical design.

ENGLAND was added to comply with the U.S. McKinley Tariff Act of 1890. With very few exceptions 'ENGLAND' was not used until 1891.

However it appears that E & C Challinor used England either is a marketing tool or in anticipation of the US Tariff Act.

 modern production with a 'fake' mark

this mark is found on Willow ware which is probably modern production made in China

The mark is poorly draw for example the lion is comically drawn, the unicorn front legs are poorly drawn and the word 'DROIT' has been strongly spaced to make the letters show between the legs
