Sorry I can't tell much about the pattern from the photo, but I can see enough to know it's quite pretty. I'm not that well versed in ironstone, but I know of 2 companies that used the "J M & S" on ironstone. One was Job Meigh & Son at the Old Hall Pottery, Hanley and the other John Meir & Son of Tunstall, Staffordshire, England. From looking at the mark, I'm inclined to think that perhaps "Eton" is the pattern name. I know that's not much, but perhaps if you check for these names, you may find marks that match yours. Good luck to you, and if I should find any information, I'll certainly let you know. :-)
