    I have a set of Grindely England surrounded by a green leaf oval open at the top. There apears to be a guilders mark I with a 2 on some of the plates. The set is white with a narrow gold band with any handles on the turreens and cups also gold. Can you help me identify this pattern so I may replace the missing items in the set. Thank You, H.

    I have a Grindley teapot with ship mark c 1936-54. small green, blue and yellow. Base says what looks like Hand Painted Daboade, Patent applied for. Excellent condition. I have trawled around on the internet but can’t find this little pot on the auction sites. Any idea of expected selling price today.

    I have an oval platter, two soup tureens with one lid, and a gravy boat, all previously belonging to my mother. This pattern was her wedding china. It is called cream petal by grindley. It has a gold leaf pattern with a red stripe. Do you have any other matching items?

  • Dairymaid73

    I am trying to identify some Grindley Creampetal crockery that was given to my grandparents for their wedding in 1941. It is hand painted with 1 yellow and 2 orange flowers in a cluster along a spindley brown twig (like a lighting fork pattern) and grey/green leaves along the branch. Spaced evenly around the edge are 6 thin orange brush lines x 5 which match up on the veg bowl and lid and are on the plates also. I am looking for some bowls and other things that may belong to the set – there are only plates and 2 veg serving bowls.
