Alfred B Pearce & Co Heathcote China 39 Ludgate Hill

Hi Ella

Many thanks for submitting, and hope you are finding the site useful.

Alfred B Pearce & Co Heathcote China of 39 Ludgate Hill were not china makers but London retailers 1866 to 1940. Did they survive the London Blitz? Doesn't look like it, sadly. To me an interesting collection, with a story to tell. Personally, I like it and think it rocks.

Do not under sell its value. Should it be in a museum? In my opinion, there can't be many of these services left around. Certainly, this is the first query on this mark I have ever seen, so be sure to look after it.

Hi Anonymous

Alfred B Pearce & Co Heathcote China of 39 Ludgate Hill were not china makers but London retailers 1866 to 1940.

You have their name, their address, when they were in business and what they were (a well known china & glass retailer of the period).

What else were you looking for exactly?

Very interested in this as I've got 7 tea plates with a rusty orange reverse trim with white flowers and a dark blue background which I picked up in a charity shop over 40 years ago and this is the first time I've ever been able to find out anything about them. Thanks again.

Heathcode China
by: Anonymous

I have part of a tea service - inherited from my grandmother. The mark is "Kingston" Heathcote China and has the date AD1858 as an integral part of the mark, which would indicate that Heathcote were in fact around earlier than has been suggested.

========================

Peter (admin says):-

Very interesting comment, thanks. Often with these markings, the firm takes the very earliest date possible. Many now famous retailer (for example Marks and Spencers) began life as a market stall and were just tiny embryonic businesses at first. Maybe this was the case with Pearce & Co?

by: verina

nice to hear some of the history. I also have similar white porcelain teacups, saucers and plates with gold edging on a black band with pink and yellow roses and leaves - and would love to try and make the set a bit more complete. Some of the cups have marking in red on the bottoms "3 Y.Y.H'' ..any ideas what this is ?
China from A.B.Pearce
by: Margie

We have inherited a china tea service. White background, gold, random, splatter pattern edging and very pretty flowers around part of edge in muted yellow/pink/beige.

Mark on base is H & Co, L, France and the stamp below reads Made in France for A.B.Pearce, 39 Ludgate Hill, London.

It is very unusual and it would be interesting to know its provenance.

If anyone has any ideas can easily take pic.

Thanks,
Margie

Hi I have just purchased many pieces of the sunburst pattern by Crown Ducal which is a lovely Art Deco lot. Amongst it are six sandwich plates with Alfred B Pearce and Co and the Crown Ducal stamp. Does anyone know if this makes them more valuable?

Thanks

Albert B Pearce & Co
by: Francesca

I have an old catalogue from Albert Pearce & Co which states they were under that name since 1760 and has a photograph of the original shop on the inside cover. the stamp or logo inside does not depict Heathcote so I think that May have been a later amalgamation of the two companies.
The small book with printed illustative plates both in colour and black and white form depict cups and saucers,Water Jugs and Bowls,Dinner service, Dinner Plates, Crystal Glass and Decanters.feel free to email me and I will try and send you any relevant pics.

Alfred B Pearce Dresser set
by: Anonymous

I have a "dresser set" that has stamped on the back Alfred B Pearce 39 Ludgate Hill London. Around that it says Manufactured in France For. It is a yellow tray with brighter yellow swirls around the edge. The dresser set has a candle stick holder and two small round containers with lids and a large container with a lid. The lids have a gold flower on the top. Really unusual set. Just wondering how old it is or if it is very rare.
Alfred B Pearce/Crown Tea set
by: Michael

Just bought a tea set with the Alfred B Pearce logo and another logo with 'CROWN', a crown above and an inverted triangle divided into 3 sections below with W and L in the top sections and L in the lower section. Some pieces have both logos, some one or the other and one cup has the number '4831'in gold. Any ideas as to its provenance? Can supply a picture if I have an email address.
Makers' Marks
by: Anonymous

My understanding is that retailers like Alfred B Pearce did not allow the manufacturers of their china ware to have their own stamps on the pieces but, clearly Aynsley got away with it in that case! I have a Pair of Blue & Gold Iris Vases by Royal Doulton with only the Alfred B Pearce mark.

update
by: Telboy

I just googled Alfred Pearce,There is a piece with a back stamp which reads around AB& co's mark Made In Austria for Alfred B & co,so i would think that like decorators he probably sourced items from many different factories to get a large array of differing patterns..

custom alfred b pearce plate NEW
by: john l

Hello.
I found a small plate from my late grandma's collection of possession.
Its a plate by Alfred B Pearce & Co stamped at the bottom. It also has a logo stating Loke Hall which i believe came from the household of a famous Asian family during the 1900s.
It also has an asterisk indentation on the back.
Anyone has any information regarding this plate?
