I picked up this Keeling & Co Ltd Burslem china. It is a lovely set but I cannot find any reference to it anywhere on the web. I was hoping for some information on the pattern and trying to work out its value. I picked it up in a charity shop. About 40 pieces in total.

Hi, I love your Art Deco china! I found quite a lot on Keeling on the internet. Do you mean that you cannot find the pattern? First link is to backstamps. There will be more websites out there with backstamp info, which could help you narrow down the date. Second link is to Replacements.com. I didn't go through all the patterns listed there. Have you been through them yet? We are not professional appraisers, and seldom do I see someone responding with a quote. So, best advice I can give you for a quick assessment of current auction values would be to consult Ebay and Rubylane for similar items. Keeling produced some splendid wares! And they have retained value. Very exciting china find. So glad you found these!

Thanks. I have had a lot of china and understand back stamps. I know the manufacturer (Keeling & Co) and know the back stamp. What I cannot find is the pattern anywhere, not on replacements, never on ebay, not on any china site, sales site. Its the first set I have had that I have found nothing on after hours of searching.
