Searches will never usually say Ivy Evergreen either. I looked for over 7 years to try and find the teapot in this pattern. Old Chelsea is actually the shape of the plate design, not the ivy itself, which is why when you search out Johnson Bros Old Chelsea, you get multiple patterns.<br /><br />It is circa 1940's if I am not mistaken. Made in England, the stamping could be different if you have one that was made for export, or one that was made to stay in England.<br /><br />Hope this helps! I is truly a lovely design. I have been eating off of them for years. When I found the teapot over a year ago, I got together with my mom and her 2 sisters, and we put the teapot with cups of my grandmothers...so they could talk and get to know each other! I want the teapot to feel loved in it's new home...silly I know.<br /><br />May you enjoy many happy cups of tea in them! (Maybe on a Downton Abbey night if you are a fan?)<br /><br />JoleneCup'a Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675759966684732276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-73984640859905360102013-01-29T12:17:44.655-08:002013-01-29T12:17:44.655-08:00How I wish you lived next door!

I have been looking up the backstamp and I am thinking around 1930s. That is my best guess for when they were manufactured. <br />You were so kind to give half of them away to a friend!<br />Hugs,<br />TerriTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308857175275747562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-55250205881184951472013-01-23T09:13:23.140-08:002013-01-23T09:13:23.140-08:00lovely teddy bear :)lovely teddy bear :)Tina´s PicStoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144127584040088355noreply@blogger.com
