Child's china serving pieces? British transferware, but...?

How old? I suspect the pattern is dead common, so nailing down a maker may be impossible. One piece that seems to be married to the set has a mark; I need to loupe it because it's impressed and blurry to put it mildly. They're blue and white transferware and none too careful of a transfer. On the other hand, I've never seen a soup tureen or gravy boats before. Some of the pieces were from different sets, but for a whole $6 I can't say I cared.

 

The majority of the pieces look to be done in the Blue Willow pattern which was made by everyone & their brother.

 

That's about what I figured. The blue cast to the underside makes me think these go back at least 100 years, and the remains of the old tag on the bottom of that plate ( I have the rest of it) tell me the tag itself has been there for at least 60 years. Beyond that, I figure at worst they're worth more than I paid.

 

Children's toy pieces. Seriously collectable over here - aren't they charming.

 

If I get around to listing there, I'll need better pictures, I'll make sure to pay the extra to list on the UK site too. They were with a set of lower grade handleless tea cups, but small ones. I think those were pretty darned old too, but the quality wasn't as good as the child's set.
