Featured Transferware blue and white plates

Hello, I am newbie here, and this is my first post with own "treasures". I've bought a box of blue and white pottery for bargain, most of them, as I expected, are british 20th century transferware, like Royal Worcester or Royal Tudor Ware, but I know totally nothing about these pair below. One, this with a bird and blossoming cherry is a saucer with blank bottom, the other one is unusually light, may it be bone china, or what else it would be? On this second there are some marks, but I couldn't find more about. I would be grateful, if you would tell me more about.

 

Welcome, Marzena.
The bird plate is 20th century, I think Japanese.
The other one looks British to me. The central part is Chinese inspired, like willow pattern.
@Ownedbybear will probably know the last one.

 

This is a good beginning. Thanks!

 

Agree with Any, first one is most likely Japanese. Later half of the 20th century.
Shows an Asian Peacock and plum blossoms

 

I wondered if it was a peacock or pheasant, now I know -)

 

To confuse matters, I think it is a pheasant.

 

Oh. And how to distinguish plums from cherries? I tried to compare images of chinese and Japanese porcelain now, but I still have no idea .

 

Second one does indeed look to be British, made by some factory or other in Staffordshire in the early to mid 1800s. Bone china I'd think. It's almost imposible to pin down makers on these, so many copied patterns. The 5 will be a decorator's mark: workers were paid by the number of plates they decorated.

 

Oh, thank you very much for so comprehensive reply!

 

You're very welcome. It's a nice plate, a bit of history.

 

I found the second plate on the blue and white site, unattributed but named:

Thank you for your time! Now I know pretty much about)

 

The thing about transferware is that china factories bought in already printed transfers, then used them. That's why you get multiple factories with the same design, and so many unnamed ones.

 

Yeah, I think I goofed.

Flower can also be called Prunus.
