Re: Pountney & Co Ltd., Dinner Service

Hi - My fiance and I just bought a service just like this from an auction in Bristol while we were visiting my mother, who lives near Bath. It is now at home with us in Seoul, South Korea! We have almsot exactly the same pieces as you and the same registration number. Did you manage to find out anything else about this China.
