The marks was used on ware produced for and supplied to the British Government; it was ultimately property of the Crown/Government, hence the GR-VI. Gater Hall (and others) were given government contracts throughout the late 1930s and into the 1940s (WWII) and produced canteen ware - most likely for the armed services. |
