English teacup and saucer
« on: January 20, 2010, 05:06:52 pm »
Hi everybody, I have another teacup and saucer that I'm trying to identify. I can't post a picture of right now for some reason but I will when I can. It doesn't have a makers mark but there is a handwritten note taped to it that says "English Circa 1810". And it really looks old. Does anyone know of English makers that were working at that time? They are white with a dark blue rim that's decorated with gold grape bunches and leaves. Thanks.

    I look forward to see a pic of the tea cup, sounds like a wonderful cup.   No hallmarks and only a handwritten note, could make for a challange of discovering the actual maker and to verify the date.  If my visual are correct, based on the description you have provided, sounds like the style would match the period.  Sounds like a step above what I would call Extra Fancy.  Starting value in the 50 dollar range to start, which is really good for a cup, but until the pics come I can only spew blahs topped with Blah, Blah  ;D

Yes, the saucer is deep. It measures a little over 1-1/8" from the bottom to the rim.

I was going to doubt' the circa 1810 but looking closely I do believe I see spur mark's on the saucer. The trim is called Gold Luster. I would suggest at least $75.00 Dollars.

I was going to put the same thing as to my doubts....but agree with D&b.  It is definitely older and well made.

Very beautiful!  For me it would be a keeper!

Thanks for the info DB. What do you mean by spur marks? Is that something that occured on earlier things?

Yes it was :)the spur was a 3 pronged piece that separated the plates during the baking. if you' look care fully at the left side of your saucer you can see and indention, top center just to the left same thing.
Indicative of a spur.
