Royal Standard was a trademark not the pottery works, this trademark was used by Chapmans Longton Ltd. This company was among the famous Staffordshire pottery companies, and based at Albert Works, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.

The tradename Royal Standard was in use from 1930 onwards, previous to this it was called Standard China

 

DLAT Rating: 8/10 (Darling Look At This!)

 

ROYAL STANDARD (Chapmans Longton Ltd) - Saucer ONLY

Design: Blue Roses with Grey foliage. I have seen similar patterns which are named 'Fascination'

Graphics are three collections of flowers around the saucer. I don't know of a naturally occurring blue rose so I am guessing these are 'fantasy flowers' not depicting a particular species.

White bone china base

Translucent (you can see your fingers through the china when held to a light)

Circa 1949 ~ (based on the backstamp design) - we actually obtained these in the 1960's I think it was.

Hand painted

Gold gilding applied to the scalloped rim.

Dimensions: 144mm diameter

Medium weight: 150g

 

 

BACKSTAMP DETAILS:

All graphics & text are printed in Lime Green

Works artist mark is clearly visible underneath - these marks were extremely important to the worker because they were paid per piece completed, not by the hour.

 

CONDITION:

Overall, this saucer is in very good condition but the following is a more detailed description ...

NO chips

NO crazing

NO wear observed to the heavy gold gilding around the rim

I noticed these three points while inspecting the saucer...

a) Very light wear to the artwork right near the central area, where the china has a slightly raised ridge (where your teacup sits)

b) A couple of 'knife' marks to the central area

c) In two places, near the rim, there are a couple of 'dirt marks' a grey/black colour which didn't seem to come off with a simple clean.

In my view, none of these three issues noticed are of a major significance (unless perfection is your 'thing')

Testing performed as outlined in the description. Used item, non returnable
