Antique bone China Query - Aynsley teacups

Antique bone China Query - Aynsley teacups:- I have a set of Aynsley teacups and saucers with a cake plate and 6 small plates to match along with a cream jug and sugar bowl. All have a green Aynsley mark stating 'Aynsley' in a ribbon scroll and 'bone china' over this with a crown between the words 'bone' and 'china'.

There is a hand written pattern number of B5081 and this set is puzzling as I cannot find out anything about it or anything similar on the internet????? Any ideas? The design is inside the teacups and is an emerald green colour with a swirling gold pattern and rim.

The outside of the teacup is white with a gold band around the base, centre of the cup and rim as well as on the hand.

I am thinking they are from the 1930's - 1950's period because of the 'bone china' mark and something similar that I have seen but I am very new to this so any help would be appreciated!

Hi Claire

Thanks for your query.

The set you have is a lovely design - very simple but able to give you great pleasure to use or simply admire.

You were correct in the earlier of your estimations of date. The backstamp mark can be dated to between 1934 and 1939 making it late art deco but not of the extreme Claris Cliff 'Bizarre' type. After this time, the stamp is similar but has an 'EST. 1775' added.

Aynsley often did not name their patterns but simply gave them a number. This seems to be the case here.

It is strange to think of this lovely set being produced in the period of the great stock market crash and before the Second World war.

If you'd like further information or a valuation, I suggest you visit my page:

Otherwise, anybody with any other information about this lovely tea service is more than welcome to leave a comment below.

I have some of these Aynsley cups too
by: Kathy

I am so glad you posted this comment. Recently my mom gave me a couple of boxes of china and crystal that I think is from my grandmother. (My mom is 86 years old) I have been so frustrated because I too can't find anything about these Aynsley cups and saucers. They have the exact same stamp as the ones described but are black with three different designs all on the outside with the th gold rim on the inside. One of the numbers is B4156, another 4683 and the other two cups have 130473 with a 5 underneath and two of the cups just have the 5. I would be interested in getting a date and valuation.

Thanks

Kathy

Valuation of Aynsley China Tea Sets
by: Peter (admin)

If you'd like further information or a valuation, I suggest you visit my page:

www.figurines-sculpture.com/antique-china-values.html

Here I tell you how to quite easily research online for free the values of a set such as yours. Also on this page, you have the option to contact professional appraisers (only ones I’ve checked out myself), if you wish to go the professional route for insurance valuations etc etc.

I myself never do valuations as this is an area for experts as there are so many different factors to take into consideration - like swings in fashion, one minute stuff is hot, the next, not! In the UK right now, there is a swing towards 'Vintage is HOT!', so this may soon begin to reflect in vintage and antique china values.

Hope this helps.

Aynsley set marked b 4617
by: Anonymous

I enjoyed the queries and comments on line. I have a tea set Aynsley Bone China marked in hand B 4617, a wedding present from 1942. There are 12 cups, saucers and side plates. It is in perfect condition. A green/yellow/white floral pattern. I would be grateful for any information.

tea cup and saucer sets
by: Sol

Regarding the Aynsley tea cups, I'd bet they're closer to the 50s in age as that particular bluish-like color seemed to gain popularity in the 50s. That color alone may increase the value of those cups - they're very good looking.

aynsley demitasse
by: maylene

I recently inherited an Aynsley Demitasse Coffee Set.
It is a beautiful pale green with yellow roses and gold edging.
It has the number B5136/2 hand written near the mark.
I am assuming that it is from the late 30's early 40's as the mark has "est 1775" near the crown.
Any information would be greatly appreciated as I would like to know if there are other pieces that match that i could collect.
Thank you
Maylene

teaset with purple flowers
by: Anonymous

I recently inherited and Aynsley tea set with purple flowers and the pattern number is C1197. Can't seem to find it on the net. Any thoughts? The mark appears to be from the 1930-1940 or 50's era.
