Featured Teacup and saucer. English bone china

AJ thanks for the explanation. I never heard that expression before, I will add it to my conversations as need be. LOL
I agree Judy laughter is the best thing we have now.

 

Oh my gosh thanks for all the giggles!

In my rather, oh so serious way, I can't help but notice the similarity in your mark and a Williamson mark. I'm not suggesting it is one, just similar. If no one has browsed through US maker marks yet I might pull out a few books.

The fact that it says "English" rather than England makes one wonder where it was made doesn't it?

WILLIAMSONS

It's possible that English is a design name given those twee cottages. That Williamsons mark is certainly very like.

 

And here I am wondering if angels have wing feathers on their chests

 

Some male angels do.

 

Rolling on the floor here at 6:30am! I needed that!

 

Good morning, Bakers.

I am sure I am not just speaking for myself: Happy to oblige.

 

I can't wait to use codswallop in conversation!

 

Sparrows fart......codswallop.......
I'll be sure to add these to my repertoire!

 

Only if they've not shaved that morning.

 

Is that man scaping or angel scaping???
Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Omg, AJ is back on form, I just nearly choked on my coffee

 

It is very similar.

 

Another teacup identified as Williamson online: same shape and handle, to my eye same period decor.

Didn't really expect to get it identified so... well done! Kewl.

 

Looks spot on to me.

 

If someone wants to forward this teacup photo and the mark to The Potteries, I have no objection. I tried to myself, but it requires me to create an account - I don't even know where - and I'm not going to do that.

 

I guess he's being suitably cautious, but I'm satisfied with the ID reached here. Since the mark doesn't include the company name, finding a cup and saucer of the same size and design by that manufacturer, although with a different transfer, is as close to confirmation as anyone is likely to get.
