[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 10238458, member: 50"]Hi Brian, I have looked a bit for info on your set and mark but not with great results. I'm no expert and actually don't collect transferware other than a few bits. I don't know how much you already know so I'll just share what I think may apply. The dark blue floral type of Staffordshire transferware was popular about 1820's. A term you might use to look for similar shapes is Historical Staffordshire or something like that.
