The tradename Royal Standard was in use from 1930 onwards, previous to this it was called Standard China
DLAT Rating: 9/10 (Darling Look At This!)
ROYAL STANDARD (Chapmans Longton Ltd) - Milk Pourer ONLY
Design: Art Deco
***This could be pattern 9488, as the cups have this hand written on each cup (only on the cups of the same design that I have) OR this could be the artists marks although the factory artist usually used 'marks' not 4 numbers.
Graphics are two collections of flowers, these look to be 'fantasy flowers' not depicting a particular species. Colours are very bright and vibrant. Typical Art Deco handle decorated in a splattered lime green.
White bone china base
Translucent (you can see through the china when held to a light)
Circa 1930 ~ 1949 (based on the backstamp design)
Hand painted - run your finger across the orange/red painting and it is raised from the milk pourer surface.
Dimensions: 90mm height x 80mm diameter (top opening)
Medium weight: 150g
Funnel shaped jug
Gold gilding applied to the rim.
BACKSTAMP DETAILS:
All graphics & text are printed in Silver/Grey

Works artist marks are clearly visible underneath (3 small green dots) - these were extremely important to the worker because they were paid per piece completed, not by the hour.
CONDITION:
Very good condition
NO chips
A couple of fleabites around the base rim, underneath only
NO cracks
NO crazing
NO damage to the artwork
NO handling wear is apparent to the Gold gilding and out of 10 I would suggest this rates as a 9+
An excellent quite unique example of Art Deco tableware from Royal Standard
