Royal Grafton "5956"

Royal Grafton 5956 appears to be a numbered Grafton China pattern rather than one with a widely recorded pattern name. The decoration has a light vintage feel, with small hand-painted flowers in pink, yellow, blue and red, set against fine grey branch or trellis-style detail.

The pieces have an elegant character and a delicate feel. Gold-coloured edging adds a more formal finish, while the colourful flower sprays keep the design fresh and cheerful rather than heavy.

The backstamp reads A.B.J. Grafton China, Made in England, with the pattern number 5956 added separately. This points to A.B. Jones & Sons of the Grafton Works, Longton, and suggests a likely date in the late 1930s or 1940s rather than a later post-war Royal Grafton service.

When matching this pattern, the 5956 number, colourful small flower sprays, grey branch-style decoration, gold trim and coffee ware shapes are the most useful features to compare. Because no reliable pattern name appears to be recorded, the number and visual design are especially important.
