Pretty sure these are 'Worcester'? Any info would be appreciated.
All the best

Can't make out your mark and need a close-up, but just wonder if it could be this one, from the general shape?

Thanks for that, very similar but not the one!
Will put a close up in the album.
Best wishes

I think these may purport to be Worcester but I think they might be copies. The backstamp crown looks wrong and the date code doesn't appear to be present. A closer sharper picture of the back stamp might help.

Hope this is better?

These look to be 1889 pieces but look far too clean to be that age, I still fear that they are copies. Although it's difficult to tell without handling them.

They do have some tiny nibbles around the edge & crazing. One seems to have a yellowish tinge?
They came from a good home & were well looked after.
Do you know of any books that would help me?
Or is there a name for this style of 'ware'?
Kind regards

Thanks for all your help on this!!
Have looked at the webpage & the mark looks to be right, also there are impressed marks on both dishes which have been filled in with glaze so I cannot make them out (1862-1869)?? I'm a bit stuck now! Was going to list them as they are not my taste, But I don't want anybody to buy them if they are not right.

If you are not sure of their age then I suggest that you take them to your local auction house where they will confirm the age & authenticity and give you a valuation either free or for a small charge.
