Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns Posted by Mimi on May 27, 2012, 10:23 am I'm a new member of the Club, and have been trying to figure out the pattern/makers on several pieces. I suspect some are "maker unknown", but any I can figure out would be helpful. I'm especially interested in knowing about a dark blue lid with flowers and fruit with a flower basket finial, thought perhaps it might be Davenport.

Its not clear from your note, whether you have tried to identify your pieces using our Pattern and Source Print Database. We currently have 8821 patterns in the DB. You can search using keywords (flowers, fruit, basket, etc), category (floral), maker (Davenport), etc. If, after spending some time on the DB, you still cannot identify your pieces, then feel free to contact the Database Editor, Connie Rogers, through the website (click "Contact Us" on the left column Directory of the Home Page). Connie is always happy to help. Enjoy!

Re: Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns Posted by Mimi on May 27, 2012, 1:26 pm, in reply to "Re: Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns" Hi. I have tried some searching in the database using key words, but have also sent images to Rebecca as the Google link I attempted to use did not work for her. Hopefully she'll be able to post my images and someone in the club will have some input. Many thanks!

Re: Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns Posted by Mimi on May 27, 2012, 2:24 pm, in reply to "Re: Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns" Actually I know the coffee pot is Archery, but it's a really odd form with that narrow base, and I wondered if it was made to go on a warming stand (which I don't have). And on the light blue sugar bowl with a man with knapsack, there's a long-tailed dog at his heels, which doesn't show very well.

Some are in the database, and others are not. It is a busy weekend, but I will identify two for you that I found in the database. Perhaps other members can look at the images and add to the identifications. The pink covered sugar is in the Juvenile Archer pattern by Elkin, Knight and Bridgwood. The black printed sugar, right after that one, can be found by searching either of two names in the database: Pretty Bird or Girl with a Parrott. It is maker unknown. The pattern is very similar to the blue-printed pattern with much more elaborate border by Brameld. Welcome to the TCC! We hope you enjoy using our website and database. Perhaps you can share some of your photos with us that are not yet in the database.

Re: Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns Posted by Mimi on May 28, 2012, 3:23 pm, in reply to "Re: Help in identification on Staffordshire patterns" Thanks so much, Connie. I've been working on searching the database and, with your help, indeed found the pink sugar and sugar with girl holding parrot. Am still figuring out how much information to put in the General Search--seems like too much brings up nothing and one word does bring up more to go through. Lots of fun, and I'm really enjoying it. And I did find the medium blue covered vegetable--Romantic Ruins by Clews. So I'm learning!!
