Transferware tea set Posted by Patty on July 31, 2026, 3:43 pm Can anyone please help identify this tea set and pattern? It is a beautiful teal bluish green pattern. The diamond mark is only on one saucer. The number on all pieces is 1592. The saucers, cups and sugar bowl have 1592 with 3 dots under the 92 in an inverted triangle. The tray has the 1592 marking but with 5 dots shown like a 5 would be on a set of dice. All pieces except the saucer with the stamp have a gold x on the bottom. One of the cups has a 6 under the 1592. Looking for the manufacturer, date produced, name of pattern and worth. Thanks in advance!

Re: Transferware tea set Posted by Len on July 31, 2026, 8:01 pm, in reply to "Transferware tea set" The registry diamond gives a date of November 28, 1879, when Ambrose Bevington registered a printed floral design. Bevington potted in Hanley, Staffordshire, 1869-1892. Don't know the name of the pattern - perhaps it didn't have one other than the pattern number 1592. We don't give valuations, but it looks like you have a nice late Victorian set.

Can you tell me how did you determine that the registration belongs to Ambrose Bevington? Do you have access to the original registration record or a registry database?

Several books tell how to "decode" the registry diamonds; the letters and numbers in the corners of the diamond give the day, month and year the design was registered. One of Geoffrey Godden's handbooks of marks also has a table in the back with all the ceramics registrations from 1842 till 1883, when the diamond was discontinued. Just a matter of figuring out the date and then looking it up to see who registered the design. You can do a lot with the right books!
