Antique bone China Query - Aynsley teacups
Antique bone China Query - Aynsley teacups:- I have a set of Aynsley teacups and saucers with a cake plate and 6 small plates to match along with a cream jug and sugar bowl. All have a green Aynsley mark stating 'Aynsley' in a ribbon scroll and 'bone china' over this with a crown between the words 'bone' and 'china'.
There is a hand written pattern number of B5081 and this set is puzzling as I cannot find out anything about it or anything similar on the internet????? Any ideas? The design is inside the teacups and is an emerald green colour with a swirling gold pattern and rim.
The outside of the teacup is white with a gold band around the base, centre of the cup and rim as well as on the hand.
I am thinking they are from the 1930's - 1950's period because of the 'bone china' mark and something similar that I have seen but I am very new to this so any help would be appreciated!

Hi Claire
Thanks for your query.
The set you have is a lovely design - very simple but able to give you great pleasure to use or simply admire.
You were correct in the earlier of your estimations of date. The backstamp mark can be dated to between 1934 and 1939 making it late art deco but not of the extreme Claris Cliff 'Bizarre' type. After this time, the stamp is similar but has an 'EST. 1775' added.
Aynsley often did not name their patterns but simply gave them a number. This seems to be the case here.
It is strange to think of this lovely set being produced in the period of the great stock market crash and before the Second World war.
If you'd like further information or a valuation, I suggest you visit my page:
