I cannot find these anywhere!! I've seen some of the green "Clive" pattern (with floral and bird motif) but nothing like my blue and white "Clive". I am dying to know what it's value is.
I purchased a set of china at an auction in 2000. The pieces are all white and blue, with a blue "spearhead" type pattern radiating outward around the rim. The rims are also gilded.
There are 6 each of: dessert plate (?), salad plate, dinner plate. Also three platters ranging from medium to very large, 2 covered serving dishes, a compote dish with spoon and plate and a gravy boat.
The covered serving dish handles seem to be a sort of "acorn" shape.
The mark on the back of all of these reads "Whieldon Ware, F. Winkle & Co, Clive". Based on the mark, I know that these were produced between 1925-1931 in England.

some of the gold coating is gone on the bases and spikes
This is a mounted vase with original glass. It stands about 11" tall and weighs 1lb. It used to have a dark patina, but I used a brass polish to clean it -
I bought this from a charity shop because I thought it was extremely pretty and looked old. I have searched the internet until my finger tips started getting hard skin and I can find nothing similar that resembles the detail and beauty of this one. It comes in its own presentation box and came with a small piece of old looking paper that was written in a foreign language. (it looked like Greek but I'm not sure)
I would love to know what this is and if it is worth anything, and what it's age is.
