The Melting Snow border was attributed by Geoffrey Godden to Hicks & Meigh, but that misattribution was corrected afterwards by Geoffrey & Alma Barnes.
Michael Berthoud illustrates two tea cups of this shape, the second of Pattern 1952, in A Compendium of British Cups (1990), p.124, Plates 743-4, and a creamer of Pattern 2053 in A Cabinet of British Creamers (1999), p.138, Plate 827.

Pattern 4880
This Leaning Rose shape has long presented a problem of identification. Previously we have seen only Mazarin border patterns with the leaning rose edge moulding picked out in gold. They were considered as of uncertain origin, possibly Ridgway. Since these grey border patterns have come to the fore it has become clear that the style of gilding fits Alcock better than Ridgway. Patterns in this shape are generally in the 4000s
The dessert plate is 230mm in diameter. Bone china.

The source print is from Willis', American Scenery, Vol. 2 (1840).
This is odd because it must have been engraved before the railway was there.

Pattern 2/8053
The border decoration on this piece totally ignores the piercings, which is not a practice found at Cauldon Place. The pattern number is done in the border grey, and, for that reason, is barely readable.
The leaf dessert dish is 254mm long, 228mm wide, 62mm high at the handle. Bone china.

Pattern 3/9199
Greek Revival patterns were done by a number of factories, including Cauldon Place, in the mid to late 1850s. Mostly jugs and vases were produced, but occasionally flatware as well. This one shows the Samuel Alcock mark used on these pieces, and the pattern number, done in the background black, has the characteristic "No." to the left of the lower part of the number. The 3/ series at Cauldon Place was only used for fancy wares, never for dessert wares. The 3/ series at the Broad Street Works was used for ironstone wares and earthenwares, never for bone china.
The dessert plate is 228mm in diameter. Bone china.

Pattern 4/5704
Although the style of landscape painting is similar to that used at Cauldon Place, there is no evidence that Ridgway ever used a 4/ number series (although Francis Morley did at the Broad Street Works, but only for ironstone wares and earthenwares). The pattern number is again in puce.
The dessert plate is 229mm in diameter. Bone china.

A 7/xxxx series was not known for the factory before this cup & saucer appeared. The shape is also unrecorded.
The pattern number being in the pink body colour is a feature of the factory numbering.
