I am looking for help to identify a tea set I recently bought. It
consists of a Tea Pot, Cream Bowl and Sugar Bowl. Itis slightly off
white and all the items have silver edging. The tea pot has a silver
painte spout and handle. It also has 25th Anniversary this obviously
links tio the silver edging it also has deep pink flowers as part of
its pattern. It has the following markings on the bottom Price
Kensington number 3193 and is made in England Hamilton.

I am trying to find out who Price Kensington are, if this is a
comnplete set and how old the tea set is and its value any help would
be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Well, Price-Kensington is the maker.
Hamilton is possibly the pattern (I found reference to a pattern but no pic)
and 3193 is either the pattern number or, if a limited run, the run number.

Price-Kensington seems to be mostly known for 'theme' teapots
for the tourist market. Teapots with Tower Bridge, or a panorama of London
and the like. They also do whimsical teapots shaped like fire-engines,
taxi cabs, telephone booths and so forth.
At one time (I saw somethng on EBAY) it seems that they did other things
that are/were quite nice, but at the present time ???

Sorry I can't be more help. Hope someone else knows more.

Replacements.com has only 3 listings from Price Kensington (
http://www.replacements.com/china/PRK.htm ) but maybe you could send them a
picture of your tea set and see what they say. Mind you, it is a commercial
site so they may just tell you that they do not carry that pattern, but you
never know...
