Information regarding a bone china dinner service

by Paul Murphy
(Whitehaven, England)


Could you please provide me with some information regarding this dinner service


It has a stamp on the bottom of a crown with Lubbery or Lubery bone china made in England 22 KT gold.

Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.

It was a wedding gift to my mam and dad when they got married in 1970, we recently had an accident with it and i am trying to find some replacements for them.

I would like to know the name of the design and a supplier if possible.

Many thanks

Paul Murphy

There is no such maker as Lubbery or Lubery. I think you have misinterpreted the spelling. If you can get to a scanner, the best way to get a detailed photo of the pottery mark is to scan the base of a plate.

Lubern China (Lubery) Pottery Mark Explained
by: Peter (admin)

I did some googling and found a report describing the history of Lubern China. Apparently, from the 1960's onwards, it was the pottery mark of a decorating studio of a Stoke artisan and businessman Bernard Flemming. He was based in Northwood, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire. He died only a few years ago.

The name Lubern came from putting together his own name and his wife Lucy's. Ladies come first, of course so it was Lu....Bern!

When I say 'decorating studio', I mean that in the age old tradition, he bought in white-ware to put his own designs and stamps on.

Apparently, he used Aynsley and Paragon and would have sourced his decal transfers from someone like Cappas or a competitor.

Today, like Bernard, I still do the rounds to and from these specialist transfer printers to get the best prices from them for my figurine backtamps and other decoration details (see my advert opposite for my figurine shop)

In my case, I sell direct to collectors via the internet, but Bernard sold to several key accounts (retailers) around the UK. I am not sure if he ever exported, so it would be useful if any non UK people can post here to tell us.

I am also interested in finding some mugs or cups and saucers to match. The setting I have is plain white with a "fluted" (I think the closest description 1 inch "border" (or slightly raised area) around the outside with a 22kt gold edging. I can provide photos if you can email

Lubern 22kt China
by: Bernadette

Hi,
I'm researching some of my antiques and I have a Bone China bowl from Lubern. He wrote in blue pen "July 1969" along with his gold lettering.
I saw an article here from Peter that asks if any of Berns China made it to other countries. The piece I have here is in New York State.
I bought it in an Antique store here in upstate New York.
It's a very delightful story of the artist using his name and his wife Lucy's name to come up with the signature name Lubern.

Sincerely,
Bernadette
