Made probably late 19th century, this is a beautiful part tea and coffee service, with 34 pieces in total. There are saucers, coffee cups, tea cups, a very large teapot, a cream jug and a slop bowl. There are also two cake serving plates. There is no maker?s mark except the pattern numbers, and these are in the Ridgway sequence for late 1840s plus. The mark is fractional, 5 over 134 for 5 of the saucers, and 5/143 for everything else. (Patterns are identical.) Lots of gilding and different pretty little flowers.
There is some pattern wear to some of the pieces. The most worn part of the pattern is the gilded leaf in the centre of all pieces, especially inside the cups, where this little motif in the bottom of the cup is often faded. Wear is always confined to the gilded outlines of the border patterns, mainly around the top bands.
Set has: 12 saucers. 9 tea cups, 7 coffee cups (slightly narrower than the tea cups, and have been used less, so are in excellent condition). 2 large cake plates 26cm wide (10 inches). Very large ornate lidded sugar bowl in the typical Ridgway style, measures approx 16cm high (6.1/4 inches) and 18cm wide (7 inches). Large slop bowl (or could have been for cub sugar),17cm wide and 9.5cm high (6.3/4 inches by 3.3/4 inches). Beautiful ornate cream jug, 11cm by 14cm (4.1/4 inches by 5.1/2 inches). Very large ornate teapot with acanthus double leaves handle, and shaped foot - measures 29cm wide by 20cm high (about 11.1/2 inches by 8 inches). ...
