<p>[QUOTE=&quot;B.Stirling, post: 12379222, member: 91596&quot;]I&#039;ve been quietly lurking around this board for the past year... honestly I haven&#039;t been so lucky in my antique finds - for all kinds of complicated reasons. This is a piece I am not sure why I haven&#039;t posted before. It&#039;s been in my China cabinet for quite some time, but honest to goodness I have no idea where it came from. I don&#039;t recognize it as a piece given to me by my mom and step dad, and my husband doesn&#039;t recognize it from his family. So there it&#039;s sat a mystery. As I was cleaning today though I noticed something, it&#039;s a set(or at least I am almost sure it&#039;s a set), but the tea cup and the saucer look like they might be from different time periods?</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re both from a print called &quot;Ye Olde Willow&quot; or that should be the case, but the maker&#039;s marks are different, the tea cup spells it with the &#039;e&#039; and the saucer drops that letter at the end of &quot;Old&quot;; the saucer also has a completely different maker&#039;s mark that includes a bull dog and no longer has &quot;Royal House Pottery&quot; included with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found this site: <a href="https://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/428.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/428.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/428.htm</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>It explains a little bit, like apparently the owners of Gater House &amp; Co moved locations and bought out or merged with other pottery companies such as Royal Overhouse, but I&#039;m missing a maker&#039;s mark in there. The page includes the maker&#039;s mark from the saucer, but cannot confirm a date(I am guessing it&#039;s post 1940s), but the maker&#039;s mark on the tea cup is nowhere to be found. My best guess is that whoever owned the set broke one of the pieces and replaced it, but I have no way of knowing which is the replacement... or I am way off and companies would use two different maker&#039;s marks sometimes? Anyone who can shine a light on this is greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12932]Gater Hall &amp; Co Cup and Saucer by B.Stirling posted Jun 8, 2026 at 5:19 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12933]Gater Hall &amp; Co Cup and Saucer2 by B.Stirling posted Jun 8, 2026 at 5:21 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12934]Gater Hall &amp; Co Cup and Saucer3 by B.Stirling posted Jun 8, 2026 at 5:22 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12935]Gater Hall &amp; Co Cup and Saucer4 by B.Stirling posted Jun 8, 2026 at 5:24 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12936]Gater Hall &amp; Co Tea cup and Saucer5 by B.Stirling posted Jun 8, 2026 at 5:27 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12937]Gater Hall &amp; Co tea cup and saucer6 by B.Stirling posted Jun 8, 2026 at 5:28 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
