Royal Ardalt?

Has anyone ever heard of this manufacturer?
I can't find any reference in Godden's Encyclopedia or on Thepotteries...
I'd like to be able do be able to put a date on them as precisely as possible...
Here is one of their product I came across.


Thanks!

I'd guess 1950s. At least you have a pattern number. Maybe it was a trade name used by a known company, but there doesn't seem to be any information out there.

Thanks for your help, I'll keep looking for some more info!

 

Ok this is just an idea.

Ardalt was an import company. Mostly known for their Japanese figurines.
But what if they contracted with one of the English companies to make Cups and Saucers under the Royal Ardalt name.
It would not be unheard of for a company to contract to have things made.
Just an idea and I don't know where you would go to find the answer.

Replacements has a 2094-K saucer showing with a different pattern.

Yes! It was my guess to when I saw that there was an import company with this name! I would have expected to see their logo (AA) on the backstamp, but it could still be an explaination to why we can't find any info on an Ardalt manufacturer!

 

By any chance did you find more information on this company? I’m currently searching for information myself.

 

I recently came across a tea set for sale that was stamped as being produced by Salisbury and the pattern was called Primulas and Violets. When I did an image search using a photo of the set however, the only identical pattern that showed up was on a differently shaped tea cup and saucer set stamped as being Ardalt.
