Finding out more- China

    I have a very very old China Tea set, I'm guessing 1890/1900.
    The only marking is 'Made in England' in a very light green/blue ink stamp.
    It is very fragile, pink speckled pattern with only a simple grey line around the edge and no other patterns.

    Does anyone have any ideas how I could find out more, is it worth having it repaired(some cracks)? What make is it etc?

    Any chance of some pics? In general, unless very valuable, getting china repaired is not worth the expense. :)

    This is it, I love it as it's very girly but wondering its background

    After a bit of research I'm thinking 1908 onwards as that is when 'made in england' stamps became common usage?
