I recently was given some china from my husbands grandmother and when I was looking at it my 1st thought was its beautiful, and my next was this has to be old. I have absolutely no knowledge of any kind of china, or when it's from or if its even real or not. Can anyone give me a little insight on what I have here and possibly the time frame and worth and is it transferware or bone china or neither? I'm pretty sure I have the entire dinnerware set but I haven't unpacked it all yet to see. I cant wait to hear back from you all on my beautiful china.
We don't value items here, but can answer the rest of your questions. That is a transfer print. Made in the 1970s.

There are quite a few items with this pattern for sale online. It's ironstone, a type of pottery. It is also possible to order replacement pieces of this pattern, as it is still made today.
