From the stamp, I can see it's from 1939...but that is all I can find on this set. I haven't been able to find any other google images or sites with the exact same colour matching .
It's a C780 marking..the colour is light pink and interior mint green...

 

1939 would be the earliest that it was made, it could be after that.
What is it that you want to know? It's unlikely the pattern had a name... other than C780.

 

Just trying to find similar ones for value. According to the stamp design resoruces i found on here date it for 1939.

 

Welcome the forum @Ombras I had a look but couldn't find one - if nobody is able to help here, maybe try this FB group for Aynsley, they will probably be able to help with value too Good luck on your search!

The FB Aynsley group may have more info, but Aynsley made tons of tea cup and saucer sets -- some in sets, some singles. I'd peg this one in the late forties/early 50s just from the colour palette. Ainsley didn't use a lot of pattern names for these sets, but simply a pattern number. Lots were exported to Canada.

 

Value is minimal, under $10 here in the US. I collect English cups/saucers and it's hard to find a home for the plain ones. Aynsley is not a high end name and only a few exceptionally decorated ones have any real value. I'm afraid it's one that would end up in the donation box if I had no place for it in my own home.
