China expert needed - Royal Dolton Lyndon china tea set

[rara67]

This was discovered in my late MiLs side board. Looking on line there is a blue and a green version. I think it might be a set of seconds as each piece has a marking on the bottom like small painted dashes and cups have 1515 in blue. I don't know if I'll ever use it but I really like it. Does anyone have any idea how old it might be? Thanks

Correction! It's Royal Albert and Lyndon. That shows you how much I know!

I love China and that pattern, but am no expert. This site: www.royalalbertpatterns.com/reference%20pages/Royal%20Albert%20Back%20Stamps-.htm might help you suss it out though. Otherwise you could try your local auction house, ours has one day a week when they do free valuations.

Looking at the colours and shapes, I'd say it's 1960s. However I'm an enthusiast not an expert. Have a look on sites like "China Replacements" and you should find it (and their relevant selling prices).

molecule came up trumps. It's 1927-35. Very pretty, too!

Thank you so much. The dates mean it could have been something that my DHs grandparents had, may have even been a wedding gift as MIL was born in 1933 and FIL in 1931. Too late to ask now, but I am going to try me use it. So much stuff that we didn't want, nice to have this. I now know where Cath Kidston get their ideas from...
