<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ola402, post: 939786, member: 182&quot;]OMG!&nbsp; You have one of the Royal Albert Imari patterns (there are several).&nbsp; IMHO, close to the best, but all might not agree.&nbsp; And this set is older, maybe 1930-40s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can look here to find it <a href="http://www.royalalbertpatterns.com/index.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.royalalbertpatterns.com/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.royalalbertpatterns.com/index.htm</a> but it won&#039;t be easy because you have to know the name of the pattern in order to search for it.&nbsp; Also, look under Marks to date it.&nbsp; I just did a deep dive on the Imari patterns for some that I found.&nbsp; Some have names, some have numbers, and some are unidentified.&nbsp; It was rough.&nbsp; I wrote down a few names, but can&#039;t currently find them.&nbsp; (my husband &quot;cleaned&quot; the top of the desk, if only he would clean the bathroom!).&nbsp; I remember Derby, Devon, Heritage and #6550.&nbsp; I think most collectors don&#039;t really care if all of their Imari matches, because a lot of it basically looks the same.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were a bridesmaid, I would love to receive the Royal Albert.&nbsp; But you could see how much it brings and likely it will allow you to buy of the other types of china.&nbsp; However, since it&#039;s so old, it could take awhile and I don&#039;t know how much time you have.&nbsp; Personally, I&#039;d keep it as part of your &quot;finds&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
