<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 152360, member: 44&quot;]Good, glad you feel they are variants of the same mark! I also couldn&#039;t find the thread(s) either.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I found several on eBay with &quot;Sheffield Reproduction.&quot;&nbsp; I checked every listing hoping to see this same oval mark - no luck. There were a few that had a reclining Sphinx, that the sellers were calling a lion. LOL After seeing so many S Rep, I can see why there were so many complaints. Mom did live in Ontario for a few years back in the late 1960s. A good possibility she bought this up there??</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now isn&#039;t that interesting!!! The shape of the Parkin/Cheltenham oval mark, albeit with a lady&#039;s head instead of an eagle or trophy cup, does look like the oval on the tray and the tea set! After your informative post, I search around and found at least 2 other tea sets shaped like the one cxgirl found. None of them had the same design, but the overall shape of the pieces were **identical.**</p><p><br /></p><p>Replacements.com has Cheltenham &amp; Co. patterns. The pattern they have numbered &quot;2005&quot; looks like Cxgirl&#039;s. They only show a kettle with stand &amp; burner, but the design looks identical. The teapot in cxgirl&#039;s pic may be the kettle without the stand?</p><p><a href="http://www.replacements.com/webquote/clm2005.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.replacements.com/webquote/clm2005.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.replacements.com/webquote/clm2005.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I agree with you that the tea service was made by Parkin. The question is for whom, which may never be solved. I&#039;m more cautious at attributing the tray at this point, but noted in the tray&#039;s info that Parkin may be the maker with your info, Cheryl.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, very much Cheryl for the info! It is more than I have ever found or gotten! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
