    I inherited 6 red and 6 white plates as shown. They are Royal Worcester bone china made in England. Does anyone have any information about this pattern?

      stunning!!

      Thanks. The gold is raised and as a child I was told it is real gold but I don't know if that is true. They were my grandparents' and were attained before 1960.

      Hi pj, looks like it might be the embassy pattern?
    4. Jewels Jewels, 9 years ago
      Lj, my iPad changed it :)
    5. ljganz, 9 years ago
      Thanks Jewels. They are very similar to the Embassy pattern but not exactly the same as the pictures I saw online. Maybe the pattern changed over the years? Does anyone know?

      Hi lj, can you add a pic of the marking on the back? Maybe we can pinpoint the date and get a lead
    7. ljganz, 9 years ago
      I posted the marking on the back. There seems to be a stamping into the china, but only on some of the plates. It's hard to make out but perhaps W4 on the first line and the second line ends in 8 but the first number/letter is not clear. I appreciate the help.

      As you see here, they had a very complicated system for dating with letters and dots! Yours doesn't have the letter or dots as shown here, but you say that there is an impression with a w4 and another letter and 8?

      Another reference, It states no date code from 1942-1948, which is what yours looks like, but based on that impression of w4, it would seem to indicate 1954
    11. ljganz, 9 years ago
      Jewels, you could be right about the year. The marking is not near the center, it's at 4:00. There is no ink on the impression. I did see the white ones end in 8 and the red ones in 6. Thanks for taking an interest and helping.
    12. Jewels Jewels, 9 years ago
      Oh no problem, okay, maybe w4 is 1954 and other impression in the color/pattern code, and I'm not finding exactly what you have here. Your pattern seems to be raised up a bit with the gold
    13. Jewels Jewels, 9 years ago
      I know! On that second link, for the museum, there is an email address, maybe email them your pics and I bet they know immediately
    14. ljganz, 9 years ago
      Jewels, Thanks for the idea. I will give it a try. LJ

      Hi lj, great, hope it works :)
