Hi,
Hoping someone would be able to help me date/value a 30 piece Minton dinner set.
It’s in good condition but as I can’t find the exact design anywhere online I’m having trouble getting an idea of it’s value, although the fact I can’t find it suggests it’s rare.
Any info or help, point in the right direction etc would be great.
Thanks
No,,Not at all !! Thats just how I type !! Most are used to it by now !! May I ask why you need to know these things ?? Are you planning to sell this set ??
If you will look on the back and tell me what the year cypher is,,and if you are in no hurry I will see what I can find !! Its Christmas so may not have much time right now !!
Hi marthahill,
Guessing from all the ! marks you thought I was being rude or thought I was suggesting you had not been helpful, apologies if my message came across that way.
I very much appreciate your input but as much as it was appreciated, it unfortunately didn’t provide much more than I have already been able to uncover on my own.
I will check the Replacements.com suggestion + would also appreciate a point towards one of the Minton collector groups you mentioned, how would I get in contact with them?
Many thanks
You asked for direction !! If you find the year cypher that is likely impressed on the back you can check it against the list I gave you at the first link !! Then when you know the year it was made,,search the archive for the patterns for that year !! I would have to do the same thing since very few could remember all the patterns Minton made since 1912 !! You can also look through the 33 pages at Replacements.com !! If all that fails,, ask at one of the Minton collector groups !!
Remember we are volunteers here and not part of the Kovels website !!
Hi marthahill,
Yes, I have checked all the interactive pattern books from your links but still an unable to find the pattern in the images attached.
Based on the Mintons stamp it would seem c1912-1950, although I’d hope to get some more information about the item’s other markings and pattern that have been harder to find.
Hi marthahill,
I’ve looked further into this but still unable to find any more information on the specific design. Don’t seem to be able to locate the year cypher, there is an ‘m’ mark similar to the 1885 year cypher but the ‘Mintons’ crown and globe mark with the England underneath say the design is from after 1912 so quite confused.
Would you be able to point me towards one of the Minton collector groups you mentioned, how would I get in contact with them?
Many thanks
