Bell China was the trade name used by Shore & Coggins Ltd, England
The backstamp indicates the period this piece came from was somewhere between 1936 & 1966 although I feel the late 1930's would be more accurate for these pieces based on the hand painted decoration, art deco style of colouring and teaset pieces design (teacup handle shape in particular)
I have more pieces from our "Wallflowers" teaset, take a look HERE if interested

Wear to the gold gilding is minimal, if I was to rate the quality of the gilding I would grade this as 9.5/10
NO crazing
HOWEVER, I did notice one very small 'dot' inside the bowl (wall) which seems to be a very small fleabite. It feels rough to the touch and is a slight, light brown colouring - nothing in the corresponding area outside of the bowl.
