Please Help Identify Tea Cups
« on: May 31, 2011, 12:23:36 pm »
OK I have found all of my other pieces, mostly on Replacements.com, which I am curious to know if their prices are reasonable or not.

Anyway I knew I would not find these first two

My favorite! It is VERY delicate and hand painted



Other side


This one is Transferwear and done a bit poorly I might add :) but the pattern is fabulous! No marks what so ever.



These two I know the maker but can not find the patterns.




This is the brown one but I can not find my straight shots :)


Thanks for any help :)

ON your Tuscan chine Made in England...they usually had numbers stamped on that was your pattern.  Your mark with Plant was used around 1936 to mid 40's.

Your Zeh Scherzer China/Bavaria/Germany mark was used by the company between 1949 and 1991.  

Unfortunately there isn't a site that contains all of the patterns.  It is a hunt/find venture you are on....

Thanks Sapphire I have searched the heck out of that! I have actually been looking for these on and off for 10 years :) Found you guys and figured what the heck!

KC, according to what I found that top name is actually where it was made. The pattern isn't listed as a number like normal. But the one thing I do see, that is hand written, is the 1/1 very curious to me! I never noticed before that it is a transfer (all the brown) then painted in by hand (the flowers).
Anyway here is the link to the mark: http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/p/plantrhsl.html

I knew that about the Scherzer piece as well but can not find that pattern anywhere, so I was hoping one of you had seen it.

Thanks bunches
