Need help identifying

Hi all, we have a pot which has been in the family for a few generations however have no idea what it is or if it has any value. There is some writing on the base which we also don’t understand. Look forward to any responses. Thank you

 

Oooo, Oli, that's pretty!

I've enlarged your photos so others can see it better.

 

Welcome OLig
Think the mark is upside down.

and might be either FC or CF but can't find either in my magic book.
Can you get a picture of all the bottom not just the close-up. Others will need /want to see pictures of around and maybe inside as they are also useful in the ID of it.
Cheers
Stephen

 

It's French faience, I think it's FOURMAINTRAUX-COURQUIN.

There is some history of different factories on this site (in French).

This is the Google translation on their info of Fourmaintraux-Courquin if that is the correct attribution.

OF FOURMAINTRAUX-COURQUIN (1837-1909) / 3
e
generation AT LA S.A. DESVRES
Charles-François Fourmaintraux-Courquin is the eldest of the Fourmaintraux-Hornoy family.
Representing his father, he opened in 1863 his own tile factory, rue de la Belle Croix. In
1872, under the influence of his wife, Célina Courquin, he turns to artistic earthenware and copy
old models from the great historic centers of Rouen, Delft, Nevers, Moustiers ...
production peaks between 1878 and 1886. Fourmaintraux-Courquin, which also sells
cement, provides tiles to large companies, such as railway companies, as well as
factories, hospitals and public administrations. His tiles are exported to Africa from
North and South America. The reputation of his pottery, regularly rewarded during
exhibitions, will benefit all the factories in the city. From the end of the 19th
century, the
Desvres label is identified as a guarantee of quality.
From 1900, under the direction of the son Charles Fourmaintraux-Houzel, the company takes a new
boom. In a wise industrialist, Charles mechanises the manufacture of tiles and develops ceramics
architecture. In 1912, he associated with the Lilleois Henri Gand who died three years later of injuries of
war. Maurice Delassus succeeds him in 1919. The collaboration of the two families knows two other
generations: Charles Fourmaintraux (son) and Jean Delassus in the second third of the 20th
century;
Christian Fourmaintraux and Ghislain Delassus in the last.
Become Desvres Company in 1965, the factory is enriched nine years later a new site of
tiling production at Longfossé, complementary to the first one then dedicated to the preparation of
pasta and the manufacture of processing products (glues, mortars). The 1980s mark
a turning point in the history of society: in 1985, the Fourmaintraux and Delassus families withdrew
capital; in 1997, the company was acquired by the Belgian group Koramic; in 2000, she moved to
COFRAC group. The year 2010 marks the end of production at Longfossé. Still active, the
Belle-Croix site only manufactures since the implementation products.
