Royal Worcester tea cup

I picked this up while in Kendal early last year. I tried to find something similar online but failed to do so. It eventually ended up in the back of a cupboard and neglected. It has flowers in relief and RW mark with 6 dots so 1896? No saucer and faint hairline on the rim so probably not worth a great deal. Still, it would be nice to know a little more about it...

 

I think it might be 1897.

It reminds me of the Blind Earl pattern and this person is calling their demitasse that.

Thanks. Nice to see another one exists. Can't seem to access the link unfortunately. If I do a reverse image search I just get examples of Franciscan Desert Rose.

 

Hmm, it is linking strangely for some reason. They also have two plates in the pattern.

The ebay title to search is:

1800's, ANTIQUE ROYAL WORCESTER BLIND EARL CUP AND SAUCER, RAISED ROSES

Replacements has a somewhat similar one in the flat demitasse for Blind Earl. Not sure that's really the pattern though.

Ah it works now thanks. Maybe i didnt click on it right the first time.

The blind earl certainly is a bonny pattern but not a match I don't think.

 

1897. Not Blind Earl. Seems to me that I remember this pattern from the aesthetic period -- more 1870ish. But patterns/molds were used for many years. Here's a link to the story behind the Blind Earl pattern: http://www.torontoantiquesonking.com/2012/05/15/the-blind-earl/

 

Thanks for the info.
