14th of june 1843 Samuel Alcock Tea Service Posted by Matthias Grabi on July 22, 2024, 6:48 am Hello, the marks of my flow blue tea service made by samuel alcock the 14th of june 1843 shows SA & Co and the word AQUATINTA. Does anybody know anything about a pattern called aquatinta? Was the artistic aquatinta technique involved in producing the pattern? The pattern shows floral elements and in the center a fish or a dragonlike animal. The pattern looks very similar to the logo of the Alcock company and is shown on the bottom of the tea pot and other parts of the service. Thank you in advance for any remarks or informations dealing wiith patterns, marks or designs of samuel alcock in 1843 Best regards Matthias Grabi

However, if it is truly flow blue, that would not be a surprise and you are more likely to obtain information from the Flow Blue Collectors Club, because although flow blue is transferware, it is generally not in the interests of our members.
