There is no stamp, only three little lines impressed into the porcelain and glazed over.
This tea set was given to me by my grandmother. My Aunt says that it was with our ancestors who were among the settlers of Jamestown, VA.
This same Aunt also told me that the "family silver" she gave me was VERY old (1800's) and valuable. I was able to conduct my own research to find it was created in the 1950's. So, while I love her dearly, I'm a bit skeptical of her Jamestown story.
I'd like to know if anyone can refer me to a post or website where i can learn to identify my tea set.
If someone knows anything about this set in particular, even better!
I'd like to know when it was made, where, by whom and ultimately place a value. I'd like to know if I should insure!
I thank you in advance for any information you're willing to provide.
I'm going to try to upload a couple of photos.
