<p>[QUOTE="JanieB, post: 4371081, member: 3759"]So much info .... thank you!! On looking at the bottom of several of the pieces I can see red, so I suspect you are spot on with it being redware. (Which, showing my complete ignorance, I had never heard of until now!). The whitish bits are paint I think (where it's been put down when it was being made?) My family were not wealthy at all, so everything they have left me is wonderfully sentimental, but won't allow me to retire!! As for size, I don't drink tea, but I reckon probably 4 cups? I've taken some more pictures and one for sizing too shown against a can. If it's possible it's earlier than the 1930's then it could have been a wedding present for my grandmother who married in 1925 perhaps? Sadly no sign of a cup and saucer to match. I so value the expertise you all have whenever I post here - the history of antiques fascinates me and you all always have the answers!! So thank you again.
