http://freddysgirlschinacollection.blogspot.com/2010/07/grimwades-royal-winton-sweet-pea.html
Freddy's Girls China Collection. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Grimwade's Royal Winton - Sweet Pea. This gorgeous little bowl, about the size of your hand (14.5 cm by 11 cm) is made by Grimwade's Royal Winton Pottery. Another chintz piece in the "Sweet Pea" pattern. This Grimwade's Royal Winton chintz. Website gives a history of the company. Again, Susan Scott's article on Chintz. This backstamp was in use between 1934 and 1950 according to this website. So that makes it hard to narrow down the time frame.

Freddy's Girls China Collection. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Royal Doulton "Moss Rose" bread and butter plate 1940. I found this cute Royal Doulton bread and butter plate at the Moonee Ponds BSL last week - the original is much nicer than the photo. I don't know what the shape of the plate is called, but I like it. The back mark with "Bone China" at the bottom intimates a date between 1928 and 1973, and the code bnumber V2247 gives a date of 1940, according to the Antiques Marks website. Rules of this blog.

http://freddysgirlschinacollection.blogspot.com/2010/07/marutomo-ware-dish.html
Freddy's Girls China Collection. Monday, July 12, 2010. This little dish is 16 x 11 cm. It is Marutomo Ware, made in Japan.

This type of porcelain is referred to as Majolica, featuring bright, coloured glazes and modelled in relief. Collecting Majolica pottery. Would it be a sweet dish? It is about the size of a butter dish. Freddy's gir...
