Antique Bone China Query: I have 6 bone china cups and saucers that I have never seen anywhere before. Hopefully I have uploaded a picture for you. There are various numbers on the bottom of the cups. Perhaps from these you may be able to give me some information about them.

Many thanks

Diane

Hello Diane

Thank you so much for your query. Well, I must say, you have set us a difficult one here without the backstamp information! I don't recognize the pattern at first glance. If it were Royal Albert's "Old Country Roses", that would be a bit easier (the most popular pattern in the history of fine bone china production!). There must be several hundred antique bone china makers it could be.

Congratulations on successfully uploading your picture! - Technology is great once you conquer it! May I suggest you upload a new pic of the bottom of the cup and also a saucer. You can use a new form for each picture (each form only allows you one upload unfortunately - but to use several forms is fine).

Also, use the form to describe the markings in case the picture is a bit blurry.

Thanks Diane
