    Hello community!
    Recently got this beautiful set. Plates, dishes and compote stand.
    Such an interesting restoration on it.
    Even one plate restored such way.
    Does any one know this mark and pattern? all flowers hand painted.
    Beautiful!

    The mark is for Derby, it's from the 1820's period. At this time most pieces didn't have pattern names, just numbers or nothing at all, so if there are hand painted numbers on any of the pieces this will be your answer.

    Staple repairs were very common back in that time period. There are collectors out there for items with such repairs.

    One of them has a YouTube video of a Chinese man who rides his bicycle around to do the repairs & it is utterly fascinating to watch him do the repairs.

    I love staple repaired pieces! I snatch them up whenever I can. The time, care, and expense of having repairs done really makes you think about how important a set of china was to people. Today a broken plate gets tossed in the trash without a second thought. My DH calls them my Frankenstaples. :)

    That was amazing, @bercrystal ! Thank you so much for sharing it. It made me so nervous watching him use that little hammer. :nailbiting:

    I really like Lavrentii's set of dishes and especially the restored piece. I've always wondered how the staples were put in without further damage. The video was very interesting, so thank you to bercrystal for sharing it. I have only a few pieces of antique pottery/porcelain, but would definitely like to have a stapled piece among them. I do have a little majolica pitcher with a repaired break and a hinged pewter lid and rim that I assumed was original, but I took a look at it again after seeing the video and realized the lid and rim were attached after the break was repaired, so now I appreciate the pitcher even more.

    @sassafras & @Joan - You are very welcome & I am glad you enjoyed the video. However, I believe in giving credit in giving credit where credit is due. The video was originally posted by another one of our members @wiscbirddog. :happy::happy:

    You may not recognize her user ID because she isn't on the forum as much as she used to be as she had some very serious health issues a while back & is still recovering. We do miss her wit & her knowledge!! :kiss::kiss:

    That’s so interesting! When I saw this restoration, I thought- someone really loved this set, and I will. I paid about 10 pounds for this set. Amazing price.
    Many thanks for video. It is important to understand history such a way
