Hi I have been asked to find out some information on this china

Put up a pic of markings on base.

Hi there's no markings on the base of this

Give us a clue ....please ! Might be one of these , and might not.. If it was anything of value there would be a mark on the base.

I have been asked by someone I know to see what they are I have a few other different types which I have found out just stuck with this one there are no visible markings on it at all

Have you tried Google Goggles?

Looks like Wedgwood to me, but if it was surley it would be marked.

Its called willow pattern if that helps.

hell casper, you just beat me to it, yes willow.

It isn't Willow Pattern.

looks willowish, but I thought you would have said it before now if it was that obvious. so, are we any nearer to what it is????

yep, just looked at your link granny, I do hate it when your right.

Sorry, just can't let someone think it is, when it's not. Your day will come Harmony


Might be a good idea to see if the 'jug' shape can be traced or give a clue. 'Jug' can also be known as 'pitcher' and obviously has ridges on it. Possibly also comes under pottery or porcelain, rather than china.
The bird looks like a swallow and the flowers , chrysanthemums

Is it from the Chinese hoo flungdung dynasty?

I thought that had more of a brown/dirty look about it rather than blue.

Without markings I don't see how it can be identified on a site like this one.

Delft????

Maybe its not an absolute guarantee though that its not valuable because it doesnt have a mark ,surely there must have been collectible quality items made by known craftsmen ,before marks were used?

"Unmarked porcelain may actually predate the use of marks; therefore, research will be necessary to accurately date it. Be aware that much late 19th and 20th century porcelain is also unmarked, or had paper labels that have fallen off. You will have to use the item's shape, design, decoration and body (paste) to help determine origin and age.

Hand painting is usually a mark of a more expensive piece of pot, transfer printing is the norm. Looks a bit like late 19th century styling in clay.

I think the word 'delft' is usually used in a generic way unless it is actually Delft - blue and white pattern overglazed earthenware.

Fine bone China. Made in the sa-long factory in March 2001 is my guess.

Value: £1.99 in any good charity shop.

All I know is its 80+years old

If it is over 80 years old it will be worth getting it checked. Kingsley Auctions in Market Street,Hoylake (632 5821) may be a good starting place.
