As you know, the set was made By Ridgways at the Bedford Works, The set was made right around 1890-1891 because of the old quiver mark...it's not a bird but a bow and quiver full of arrows...combined with England that went on in the period. The quiver changed soon after with 2 versions, so that's the date of yours. The marks you speak about are called kiln dust. Due to the type of china, when it was fired it was susceptible to bits of dust and glaze particles being released and blowing around causing specks, dimples and popping glaze bubbles. Things changed in the formulas not long after and it isn't seen as much. A beauty!I LOVE it!<br />RuthAntiques And Teacupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353180034537009493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978095106041835284.post-43342499260507922542014-01-21T15:21:11.325-08:002014-01-21T15:21:11.325-08:00It certainly is a beautiful set!

Actually, I believe the two birds are the lovers who are turned into the birds at some point.

It appears that the earlier things just aren't commanding great attention anymore. It's practically a buyer's market for them out west. I pick these things up too for that sort of price, but never stop marveling about it. I love anything pretty much from the 19th. century. There are many lovely things from the 20th., but my heart isn't there yet.Christine LeFeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971410381637962290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978095106041835284.post-35256969925869939192014-01-21T13:35:59.611-08:002014-01-21T13:35:59.611-08:00I love transferware dishes.

I have one of my own made by Royal Albert and is dated to about 1927 or so. I was intrigued with the design and so did a little research on it. This link is to an article I found on line from 1994 that gives a little more history on the Blue Willow pattern. I love the history behind the teacups! http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5d8zAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TTIHAAAAIBAJ&pg=5569%2C7265864 Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349209758347536450noreply@blogger.com
