Question......just noticed that the two plates you show are not quite the same.  Pattern is repeated four times on the first plate, three on the second. Do they both have the same mark?

Yes the Cup Saucer only has the pattern three times,
everything else has the pattern four times,
including the bowls.
and all have the same mark on the base.
thanks

To determine the age of your set, all you need to do is to look up the British Registration number on the bottom of each piece. Sometimes they were not purchased all at once but were collected over time. I'm afraid the photo wasn't clear enough for me to read the numbers.

thanks talesofthesevenseas,
Yes problem is there are no numbers at all on the bottom of those plates, in the last two photos.

l recall now that l bought the set in the first two photos the blue ones,
in an Auction room in Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia where l lived, l was 13 at the time,
l am now 52, l left them at home, and got them back from Grandma's things when she passed on,
and there is nothing other than those marks pictured, no indents or such.
