Hello R. Sale, that was exactly the point I was trying to make!
In absence of visual support, I find it hard to follow you argument about different hatching lines in ceramics and heraldry. I am not very familiar with any of the two fields.
About heraldry, I think Rene has a good point here:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
In any collection of heraldic patterns I would expect the occasional lion, eagle of other animal to turn up.
Rampant lions, hounds courant, displayed eagles etc. are not exactly a monopoly of heraldry, but their absence in a collection of devices is extremely uncommon, from what I have seen.
