Hi Susan,
Your patterns are printed in an artistic style known as monochrome Salopian in the United States. The style usually has a painted line at the edge, and is also found in underglaze painted polychrome. It appears that most of the items known as Salopian are parts of a tea service, but not always. In Anglo-American China, Part II, p. 76 by Sam Laidacker, 1954, it says: "This is a category that has aroused more discussion than any other in recent years. Somehow it was given the name 'Salopian' but that was replaced by 'Polychrome Transfer' and that has been changed to the above classification (Polychrome On Transfer). It is not a polychrome transfer but a single color transfer with applied colors. Most and probably all patterns in this group are found in a single color, usually either sepia or medium dark blue (or black)”. Most of the sixteen “Salopian” patterns that we have in the TCC pattern database are by unknown makers, but one is marked Shorthose (1817-1822), a factory in business in Shelton, Staffordshire. So, not all of so-called Salopian was made in Leeds. The patterns that you own are also printed in blue. My guess is that they date from c. 1810-1820.
