Valuing Early Mercer Pottery Pieces

Plate Front

Plate Back

Mercer Emblem

I have seven pieces of Mercer Pottery that I picked up at a roadside shop. The three best pieces I am keeping, but I need a value idea of the other four. Three are bread/butter plates, with the remainder a dessert or salad plate.

The marking is 1865 with three kilns interspersed between the numerals. Below that is MERCER POTTERY CO larger capitals, over TRENTON, then over NEW JERSEY in smaller caps.

The pieces have a blue (somewhat beaded) band around the edge, with blue/yellow florals primarily, and some purple interspersed.

Mercer 32oz pitcher circa 1902
by: Anonymous

I acquired a Mercer pottery pitcher, looks like ironstone. The backstamp was originally used on their piece starting in 1902. The initials on the pitcher are N.L.D.A.A. and have been researching for hours what these initials stand for, the closest thing I have found is The Newfoundland and Labrador Dental Assistants Association, but this association was not founded until 1949, can you help me uncover the association that Mercer pottery was made for?

Thank you in advance.

I just acquired a platter 1865 with the beautiful floral pattern and the beaded partial edging. Does anyone have a clue as to the pattern's name? Any maybe value?

Value??? NEW
by: Peter

I, too, wonder about the value of this specific design. I have 3 plates, a gravy bowl, saucer, serving dish and a platter. All have the same back stamp of the 3 kilns. There's nothing much about this Mercer piece anywhere I can find. Who, please, will share a value? This question has been unanswered far too long.
