I am on holiday in north of Scotland - Aviemore - was in a charity shop and saw a coffee set - cups and saucers and side plates - bought it because I know the designer of the shape and design - John Russell - for Hostess - Olympus - I like the design and wonder if anyone knows the date?

Thanks Adam

The following text comes from Design Journal for 1971

"......... a tea and coffee service by John Russell Design for Hostess Tableware (a firm formed by the recently merged Royal Stafford China and British Anchor Pottery companies) is something of a price breakthrough in bone china - a 21-piece teaset retails at £9.95 - and it comes in six patterns including a Pop type floral called Dolly Days."

Might be one of these patterns?
