TEA SERVICE, comprising of:
5x cups (the photographs show six but one cup only has been sold by itself)
6x saucers
4x cake/sandwich plates *** Yes, two plates have been broken and not replaced
16 pieces in total
All pieces are in very good condition and all pieces are showing very little signs of wear n tear although the inside of some teacups has light crazing with tannin staining (not heavy) and the tea cup handles have some medium wear to the gold gilding due to handling.
No obvious cracks on any piece
A couple of "fleabites" under the saucers and plates but nothing of any concern
Some light crazing/tannin marks (tea) inside the tea cups
All saucers/plates have the makers mark (gold stamped) along with the factory workers ID "marks"
The tea cups do not have this (normal) but ENGLAND is impressed into the base
These are original pieces, not reproductions
My asking price is for the complete tea service as listed above BUT I am willing to consider selling part of the tea service by negotiation
Bleu De Roi design description: Cream/white background, extensive use of gold gilding/artwork and the distinctive Colbalt-Royal Blue banding
Visually stunning, very "regal" looking
