The design on the vase is from the 'Old England' series. The pattern number is 491/E. There were six scenes in the series A to F. These were listed in the Specials Pattern book and date from around October/November 1936. The colour finishes yours is blue was also produced in four different colours. Hi John,

As well, thank you for all the valuable information provided in your article. I have been searching endlessly for information and your article is the first one I came across of value. The pieces I have are in mint condition and have never been used. They belonged to my deceased Mother who hid them in a dining room cabinet. We are currently deciding the what is the best route to take. Thank you once again. By the way, thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

However the number on the bottom is 17419 rather than 13419. As well, on each of the pieces there is an additional number such as "17" marked elsewhere. What does this do, if anything, to the value of the pieces? Thank you I have a coffee pot backstamped with the green Shelley Fine Bone China “Heather” marking.

I wonder if you can help me on some particulars. I've just purchased a c&s set in the lily of the valley pattern in a shape which I think is the same as the top example you show, which you describe as the Stratford shape. Replacements has this shape noted (I believe) as Snowdrop. Have they made a mistake? I have seen what has been described as Snowdrop in older Wileman-Shelley sets--more scallop and more pointed handle. Of even more interest to me is plate shapes. I have a modest collection of Shelley c&s sets which I have attempted to join to a 7" or 8" plate to make a trio. With the exception of Oleander, Dainty, and Ludlow, I have seldom seen any other plate shape than Gainsborough. Most of the time, it seems to work OK with Richmond or New Cambridge but what do you do with Ripon and Warwick and now this new one, either Stratford or Snowdrop? Did Shelley make plates in those shapes? If so I haven't seen any. Is it out of place to use another shape plate with those? Was there a separate plate made for Richmond, and New Cambridge? If so, where can I see an example so I'll recognize it when I see it. I'd really appreciate it if you could clear up that problem for me. Best, Hannah Lansky Dear Chris Davenport,

We have corresponded before. I am a Canadian who has the Margaret Rose pattern 14119 that was produced under the Lichfield backstamp (as was Bridesmaid 14099). It would be so helpful to have this included in your article. I don't think that "Old China Patterns" here in Canada, nor "Replacements" in the southern US which is a huge company, have any idea of the connection. The latter has it under Lichfield since I called them years ago to try to find a replacement. Your expertise is so important to people like me and I know this connection would be well received by many. Kindest regards, Margaret Rosehart, Ontario, Canada. Dear Mr. Davenport:
