Old Royal Worcester Tea Cup Plate

[jason4kstate]

I paid $3 at an estate sale for this set. I don't normally buy plates, cups, tea sets, etc but this set it probably oldest I have ever seen. The tag says its from 1810 but it looks older than that. I do not notice a makers mark or stamp on the bottom. The tag says it came from an antique shop in New York City. Any help with the pattern ID or possible maker would be appreciated.

It looks like an oriental "Imari" peony or poppy pattern

I know the handle on that teacup is called a London Handle and it is circa 1810. That's a nice cup and saucer. It actually predates the name "Royal Worcester". That name wasn't used until the early 1860's or so.

I've got a cup and saucer with that same style handle on it looks old, but there is no marks on it

Mine does not have a mark either. It was identified by some antique dealer in the 50's.
