English Abbey dinner plate

I'd like to "pick some brains" here if I could! I'm trying to price out an English Abbey dinner plate, Fairway, scalloped and embossed by (I'm assuming) Taylor, Smith & Taylor. It's in green however. I've only seen red and blue. I've searched everywhere I can think of, E-bay, Etsy, Replacements.com, etc. I read that during the great depression some green glazes were used, but this doesn't appear to be a green glaze, but more of a green transfer. I think this series was Transferware. Did anyone else besides Taylor, Smith & Taylor make this pattern? I would like to know if I have a rarity here or if it's worth the same as the red and blue colors. I'm not going to sell it, but I am trying to get an idea of what all my china is worth so my daughter doesn't trash it all when she inherits it! Thanks for any input!

 

Hi Caroln,
TST did a lot of pottery in a lot of colors. I have seen yours in pink, blue, red and green. I remember a few in yellow which I considered rare but not popular so cost was cheaper. Only the colors that were popular were bringing prices.

There's some green on worthpoint.com, but I don't have a membership to get the sold prices.

 

This is a difficult one. I have no doubt it's TST in an unusual color. The problem with unusual colors is the price is difficult to predict. It's rarer but fewer people are looking for it. I have sold red English Abbey but got very little for it. My instinct says green, even though it's rarer, would realize about the same prices. Your china is not worthless but is a tough sale. In valuating I would use sold prices from eBay in the red or blue. Replacements always seems to have prices that are least double those in other secondary market venues.

Thanks for everyone's input. In this case I guess the value is in the "having", not what it would bring money-wise! At least I have an idea now of what it's worth just for my own benefit. Thanks again!

 

I always tell my customers to use Replacements for insurance values. If selling cut the price to 1/3 - 1/2 depending on pattern.

 

I have that exact same plate and mine is in green, too. I remember that I tried to research it and wasn't as happy with the pricing results as I'd hoped I'd be.

 

Yes - like so many things, it's a lovely pattern on a well made and nicely molded blank but there's just not much call for it right now.
