Help identify a burgundy transferware dinner service – possible British Rd No. 234458/234459, circa Posted by Sissel Vetter on July 30, 2026, 6:50 am I am trying to identify an inherited burgundy/red transfer-printed dinner service currently in Norway. The service has no visible printed manufacturer’s mark. One of the large serving pieces has a very faint impressed mark which may read: Rd No. 234458 or 234459 The final digits are difficult to read, so this transcription is uncertain. If the number has been read correctly, it appears to fall within the British registered-design sequence for 1894. Distinctive features: – scalloped and partly fluted rim – burgundy/red transfer print – elaborate asymmetrical rococo or acanthus scrolls – floral sprays and small roses – separate inner border with linked cartouches and small flowers – footed sauceboat – large footed covered tureen – raised serving dish Remaining pieces: – 12 dinner plates – 6 smaller plates – 2 serving platters – 1 raised serving dish – 1 footed sauceboat – 1 large covered footed tureen The service belonged to my grandmother, but it may have been inherited by her from an earlier generation. I would be very grateful for help identifying: – the manufacturer – pattern name or number – the exact registered-design number – approximate production period Photographs include a full plate, serving pieces and the faint impressed registration mark.

What a pretty dinner service, wish I had inherited something as nice from my grandmother. It seems you've found out as much about it as can be found out very easily. Information on the later registration numbers is not easy to come by unless you contact the registry office directly. They could probably give you the maker's name and perhaps the pattern name. Good luck.
