Pattern identification
Unknown maker, no pattern name, inherited set with no box? Photograph what you have — identification is always free, whether or not you buy.
Four photos
Turn the piece over and photograph the printed or impressed mark in sharp daylight. Maker, pattern number and era usually hide here.
A straight-down shot of the decoration — border, centre motif and any gold edging. Include a ruler or coin for scale.
Dinner plate, teacup, tureen? Give the diameter or capacity. Shapes vary between makers even for lookalike patterns.
Maker guess, pattern name, registration number, decade bought. Every clue shortens the search across our 12,000 tracked patterns.
