Info sought on Stanley fine china

by Donald McLarty
(Ayrshire)

Info sought on Stanley fine china:- We have just uncovered a box, thought to be unseen for at least 30 years, during refurbishment of church kitchen. It contains 12 cups,saucers and plates, 2 creams and sugars and 2 cake plates all in "ringing" condition with no signs of them ever being used.

I enclose photos of the items and a close up of the mark and plate design which shows "Pagoda" style decor.

Can anyone identify the pattern or otherwise add to the scant info available?

The china belongs to a church ladies group who will decide its future.

Hi

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

Right now I am trying to finish a major sculpt to a deadline (see my Facebook page ….more), and have had loads of forum queries all at once, so I am finding it hard to research queries right at this moment. I will publish anyway and with a bit of luck, one of our knowledgeable contributors will help out on this one – (check out the comments section below for replies).

If not, I’ll try to get back to this one later. If you can’t wait and need to know soonest, use the expert referral service here:

My vintage and antique china values page

…which takes 2 days max and is really good value for $13.67 when you consider all other antiquarian online referral services are either much more expensive (most certified appraiser's charge $75.00 - $200.00 per hour, www.MyGrannysAtticAntiques.com charges $50 USD minimum charge , Worthpoint.com charges $10 UDS monthly membership fee, PLUS $20 USD each report, etc etc.)

For general advice on how to either price up your collection or find replacements for it, I wrote this page: The Searching Secrets To Finding Your China Replacement Online ….more.
