SOME DETAILS...........
Lovely dusty rose colour. Teacup is the Oban Shape - finely ribbed with a pedestal foot and ornate handle which are both covered with rich gold gilt - inner side of cup depicts a gorgeous hand painted fruit design of peaches, grapes, nuts and berries all set on a rich creamy ivory coloured background.
Probably the best-known and most popular of the Aynsley designs, the fruit design was brought out to compete (in a lower-budget range) with Royal Worcester's fruit designs. Most of the hand-painted pieces (which are hand-finished over a transfer printed design) were completed by Doris Jones and Nancy Brunt, and their names or signatures are found printed or handwritten on most pieces. Doris Jones and Nancy Brunt worked at Aynsley from 1938-1969 and 1935-1975 respectively. However there were some fruit pieces painted by Micklewright (late 19th century), S. Bednall (1897-1930), Keeling (1900-1938), Joe (JA) Bailey (1937-1974), and Bentley (after WWII). If you find a piece signed by one of these other painters, you have a real treasure. Pieces before the 1930s were entirely hand-painted. There are also a few hand-painted fruit pieces which have no signature, and these may have been done by apprentices.
Doris Jones (active 1938-1969)
Along with her contemporaries Nancy Brunt and Joseph Bailey, very little is known about Doris Jones except that she worked at the Aynsley factory between 1938 and 1969. Her work is most commonly found on earlier fruit and berry designs, which later became Aynsleys Orchard Gold pattern. Pieces painted or enhanced by Doris Jones are signed D. Jones.
