Vale Bone China Tea Set - Pre 1913? - Royal Vale Page Query:-


I am interested in your Royal Vale section. Thanks for your very informative site :) Do you know if the firm was called Vale on its own for a while before it became Royal Vale? I have a tea set which is marked Genuine Bone Chine Vale Made in Longton England. It is identical to other sets I have seen on ebay marked as Royal Vale. Would this indicate a date before 1913?

Thanks

Janet

Hi Janet

Thanks for your kind words!

Actually, the answer is already on the site in the visitors comments section (Royal Vale Backstamps by Dawn), but I didn't flag it up enough to be properly visible to visitors. I have now corrected this - see top of Royal Vale main page.

On the 'comments' page Dawn shared this info:

"In the period when Coloclough's was officially known as HJ Colclough (1897-1937) the 'Vale' marks were first used when the firm expanded to the new 'Vale' works in Longton Circa 1908. The backstamp
you would see in the pre-1913 period was the 'Vale China' mark.

Around and inside a black oval line, in all black lettering:

GENUINE
BONE CHINA
Vale
MADE IN LONGTON
ENGLAND"

Now, I'm not sure what you are wanting to do with your Royal Vale bone china wares:

either:

1. Sell them

2. Value them

3. Buy more

4. Just find out more about them

But, in all or any of the above cases, I suggest you check out a page I've written especially to help visitors get an idea of the worth of their wares. This page puts you in touch with a reliable and bona fide professional appraiser - checked out by me personally:

Vale Bone China Tea Set - Pre 1913? - Royal Vale Page Comment

Hi Peter

Thanks for your comprehensive answer, I really appreciate you taking the time out for me :)

The backstamp Dawn described is the one on my Vale tea set. I don't have a collection as such, the Vale tea set was my grandmother's and I was looking for some information about it. It is good to have the date narrowed down to between 1908 and 1913, which means it may have belonged to my greatgrandmother as my grandmother would have been too young to be buying china.

My great grandmother may have purchased it when setting her household up again after being evicted in the infamous Kinsley evictions of 1905 and having to live in tents on the common, collecting nettles to make into soup.

Your visitors may enjoy another collection my father has put together over many years. It is not china but maybe you will find it interesting anyway. Here is his website www.woodandbrass.co.uk/

Thanks for your help

Royal Vale China tea set
by: Colin

Peter,

I've inherited a Royal Vale tea set, which I suspect dates from around 1930. It has 6 tea cups, 6 saucers, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, 6 side plates and 1 large cake plate. It has never been used and is vg condition. All the pieces carry the identifying mark 3775.

Have you any idea what the set is called; and if it has any value?

My e-mail address is colin.jones2597@btinternet.com
