DLAT RATING: 8/10 (Darling Look At This!)
ROSLYN CHINA - Saucer ONLY
Fine Bone China
Bright White base china
Translucent, meaning that if held to a light source you can see the shadow of your fingers through the china
Pattern: Rustic Gem
Circa late 1950's ~ early 1960's (based on the backstamp)
Transferware
Design: Four groups of Pink & Blue flowers with foliage
We particularly liked the "shape" of the cup, nice ribbed sides instead of straight.
Gold gilding to the top scalloped rim, both sides & the back of the handle and around the base area
DIMENSIONS:
80mm diameter x 75mm height
CONDITION:
NO chips
NO cracks
NO crazing observed (both dry and wet tests)
NO damage to the artwork
NO tannin stains (discolouration due to the tea) in the base of the cup
Gold gilding is in very good condition in all areas, even the handle which often suffers the greatest 'wear n tear' - very nice!
Backstamp on the base:
Roslyn
Fine Bone
China
Rustic Gem
Made In
England
Followed by the numbers 8611 painted in Brown/Red, we assume this is the pattern number - it is certainly not the artist's mark
