Sturdy, functional, and beautifully detailed, defines these generous six fluid ounce, charming country patterned tea cup and saucer sets.
Bouquets of pastel pink, blue, mint green, and yellow flowers, against bright white English bone china, are bordered by delicate pink and green leaf swag draped beneath a bold band of black and tan detail. A well made English bone china pair by Duchess China for its London Collection.
Origin: England; pre-owned
Dimensions: Cups (2) -3"H x 3 1/2"W opening
Saucer(2) - 5 1/2"W
Condition: Great. Light wear is seen to the yellow, pink, blue floral cup handle. The same cup has a very light pink spec to the outside (see last two photos). One teeny scuff-like nick, under the gold trim is noted to the mint green floral saucer; a light dab of clear polish will smooth it out).
There are no chips (other than the noted scuff), cracks, stains, crazing, or wear to this clean and bright pair. The design is sharp and the glaze is well intact.
Teacups are like small pieces of jewelry-they tell a story, they are displayed, shown off with pride, and prized from one generation to another. Like jewelry the time comes when such beauties are not so 'minty" young. And yet these lovely items have lasted so long for a reason.
They are still in their prime. Seasoned with time-honored character.
Our goods are unique, quality time pieces of the past which have been inspected, researched and carefully handled to be prized. We will never sell any teacups with cracks or major damages. Our condition findings, along with our photos, are detailed as thorough and honestly as we can see, as your satisfaction is our main priority.
