Featured Cup and saucer

Going through some of my grandmas items. She doesn't remember a lot about the items so I'm trying to help her out. Can anyone tell me anything about these? Value, year, or where they are from. Thank you in advance.

 

Brian, what a pretty cup. I'm wondering two things:

Does the cup have a handle?

Is there a circular depression in the middle of the saucer where the bottom of the cup would "rest"?

 

No handle. It does somewhat have a circle in the saucer.

 

Brian, thank you for that information.

I'm sure some of the people on this site who really know cups and saucers will be interested and will respond to your questions.

 

Staffordshire/English pink/purple lusterware/lustreware (people spell it two different ways).

Until more knowledgeable boardies have a look, Staffordshire lusterware as key words should help you find similar in searches.

That's a very interesting maker's mark.

 

Agree lustre wear. Tea bowl and saucer. Maybe 1810-20? Can't trace the impressed daisy mark.

 

Pink Lustreware
I would have said 1840s.

Oh and yes English Staffordshire.

 

The shape is commonly called London shape. I believe the shape was available early 19th C but didn't become very available in the states until the 1820's and was most popular 1825-1840's.

Here is one source for the info. as it pertains to the US.

Picture of the saucer would help. Thanks.

 

I love lusterware and would really like to see it.

 

The pic is up there in post #3, but very tiny. Easy to miss.

 

Try sunderland lustre pottery. Most of the Sunderland potteries in the North east of England produced this type of ware.

 

This might be a clue.

Coming from the north east of England, 60 years ago I used to see a lot of lustre pottery as so much was produced in the north east. Our neighbour had a beautiful pair of pink lustre splashed dogs on her mantlepiece. I always heard it referred to as "Sunderland lustre" by salerooms and antique dealers. That was the generic term for it. Times have changed and 60 years down the line people call it Staffordshire pink lustre. Whilst I am warbling, silver was always plate otherwise it was plated. I occasionally I had an old dealer in my shop asking If I had any plate. I knew they were trying to trip me up and expected me to point out the silver plated items.
