Thank you very much for the informative website. I have found a small Royal Venton platter. The mark on the back is in gold and there is a no: 26 in green. The platter is cream coloured with a beautiful pheasant in the middle. Do you have any information on this piece? Kind regards.

I have 2 of the most beautiful platters in red with the horse and gentleman rider and the dogs around him. on the back is a picture of a dog as well. One of the platters has a very small chip underside but still in quite good condition. The primary one is in excellent condition, what type of value and year do you think it might be from. thank you, Marcia

I have an attractive Royal Venton oval dish with black trim and strong coloured blue/green/yellow & red art deco style flowers around the edge. It has a red 56 next to the stamp on the back. I would love to try and track down a pattern name at this stage, and hopefully some more pieces down the track. Otherwise a great website!!

I have 3 charming pitchers small, medium, and large) that are decorated with panels of a slight waffle-weave like design alternated with inserts of flowers and birds in ecru and shades of red, orange, green and embellished with gold. These pitchers each bear the mark of Royal Venton Ware situated over a crown and the name John Steventon & Sons, Burslem, England below the crown all stamped in green. There is a picture of a similar pitcher painted in shades of blue on this website in a section labelled JUGS. How can I learn the value of these pieces? Any assistance or insight will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for an interesting web site. I have 2 oval Royal Venton dishes with the design 'Rosa' and back marked 1409A - could you tell me more about them please as I could not find the design on your site. Also I have 6 double-handled soup dishes with saucers, design 'Orlando', which I understand were made specifically for the US market but which I bought from an antiques fair in Ludlow. Any further information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just today we put down a payment on a beautiful Steventon 'Royal Venton' dinnerware set, which my mother and I found at an antique shop in the province of Groningen, The Netherlands. The set includes 6 small plates, 6 dinner plates and - alas - 5 deep plates, as well as a sauce jug and several terrines. The set is decorated with the pattern shown in picture #12 on the patterns page of your site. Of course the question is: where can we find the missing plate, and what was the original set comprised of? We are totally in love with the colours, as well as the pattern itself. The plates and other pieces are off-set by a rim of red/black triangles, separated by a black rim with two white blocks at the end. We think ourselves doubly lucky with this find, as my (biological) fathers family came from the Staffs.

I have John Steventons and Sons stew bowl with a lid. It has patterns exactly the same to the second floral pattern in the 'pattern' page. The logo mark on the bottom is a crown in gold. When was this made and what would be the approximate value? I appreciate any help. Thank you. Sincerely, Jenny

My Aunt, who lived at 11 Lyndhurst St. was a Paintress at a Pottery Works where the Works were sited on Pack Horse Lane and the Office entrance was in Newcastle Street, midway between Blake Street and the Bank at the top. Please could you possibly tell me the name of the Works? Her name was Elsie Clarkson and my Mother Clarkson/Watts.

Hi thank you for this wonderful site. I have recently acquired several pieces of Luxor Chintz in blue. Looks like the bottom row second from end. I would like to know more about when it was made and how my grandmother might have acquired it. Also do you know its value. Thank you.
From: Lois Ruggles - United States Posted on: Wednesday, September 14, 2005, 04:10 AM
I am trying to find out the value of a cup and saucer with the "Kato" mark on the back. It looks exactly like the one you have on this listing under the 'Back Marks' section. It is in very good condition, no chips or cracks. A little checkering on the saucer. Can you help me? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

My mother has a beautiful blue oval platter, with pink roses or peonies, which is described as 'Maling' ware on your site. This dish is badly damaged, but still much admired. I would like to acquire a similar (undamaged!) one to give to her. Any ideas where I might find one or how much it might cost? Thank you.

I have a 9 inch plate with 6 groups of pink, purple, and yellow flowers with blue vines and green leaves, and baby blue pattern around the outer and inner edge. The crest on the back says Royal Venton Ware, then the crown symbol, then John Steventon & and Sons LTD Burslem England. I was wondering the age of this plate and its worth?

I recently purchased what was described as a "bread dish", but I thought it might be part of a dresser set. It is marked on the bottom "REGISTERED SHAPE, REG. NO. 734827, STEVENTONS LTD., BURSLEM." It has 2 gold "squiggles" that look the number 22. The plate measures approx. 12-13" wide x 6". The flat part of the dish is ~8-1/4"; the slides are sloped and are 1-1/2". The wide ends are rounded and have a scroll pattern as part of the dish. At the top of the dish is a large group of purple violets and leaves and what looks like green-ish lily of the valley. There is a smaller group of the same flowers on the bottom and 4 purple violets on either end. There's a cream/gold around the centre of the 2 larger groups of flowers. Also, the ends are 3-sided with the violets in the centre and a raised pattern o

We have 12 place settings of John Steventon & Son / Rogers 1780 reproductions in a 'pink' pattern. How should we 'value' these items? Is there a web site where we can find comparable prices?
From: Jean Ayers - England Posted on: Saturday, November 19, 2005, 05:03 PM
Found your site very interesting and informative. The covered tureen with plate stand I have has the design mark 'Carmen' on the reverse. Will check further and try to send a photo. Thanks.

I have several plates (2 sizes), a small tureen with ladle and a gravy jug, which I believe is a birds of paradise pattern. The overall colour is a dark cream with blue edgings to the plates and a pattern of rusty red/green roses/chrysanthums with a long feathered bird coming from a branch. Would be interested to know what the history is and if there is any value in them. Thanks.
