<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 4284408, member: 182&quot;]Hmmm . . . my Shelley reference book describes pattern 2223 as &quot;Violets and Butterflies&quot; made with the Shelley mark between 1940 - 1966.&nbsp; The patterns in the 2000 range are for Seconds Ware (which doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s not collectible).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>1966 is the year that Shelley was taken over by AEP, Allied English Potteries which I think is when Royal Albert acquired almost every other company (not sure, don&#039;t quote me).&nbsp; The Shelley factory was re-equipped to produce the Old Country Roses pattern.&nbsp; A lot of old Shelley patterns and shapes were continued by AEP companies.&nbsp; And some of the old patterns&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen with Royal Albert stamps on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>OMG!!&nbsp; They are starting to reshingle our roof today and I have a herd of roofers making lots of noise right now and shaking everything in the house. Making me a little anxious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
