<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 176202, member: 44&quot;]Moreotherstuff beat me to the pattern name of the cup. The pattern is pictured in Petra Williams <i>Staffordshire Romantic Transfer Patterns Cup Plates and Early Victorian China</i>, p. 353, as &quot;Ontario Lake Scenery.&quot; Pictured is a dinner plate and a cup plate. They are both 12 sided and they have the same border as your cup except not sure if the border has the horizontal lines running across the spray of flowers. It says these plates are by Joseph Heath marked &quot;J. Heath&quot; and according to GMK this Heath mark dates from 1845-53. Seeing your cup isn&#039;t marked, I don&#039;t know if yours is by Heath. Good chance others did the pattern also??? Here is the info:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Scenic Category</p><p>&#039;Ontario Lake Scenery&#039;</p><p>Made by Joseph Heath</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The larger plate photographed is twelve-sided and so is the cup plate and the patterns on both plates are identical. A trailing vine interspersed with small flowers encircles the outer edge. A pattern of sprays of flowers separated by a vertical double bar centered with a row of beads. The vine design of forget-me-nots crosses the bars at right. The entire rim design is finished at the well by tiny scallops.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The central scene is European and is dominated by a castle with tall towers at left center. In the background there are tall mountains. A cascade starts in the center rear and becomes a waterfall which spreads into a wide triangular lake area. At extreme right on the river bank there are tentlike structures held up by forked tree limbs. There are tall elms and bushy trees in the background. In the center four people stand on a steep bank and another is seated on the edge of the bank. Shrubs in the foreground and clouds in the upper background complete the circular picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Marked J.
