Excellent condition- these must have been stored very carefully because there is NO damage other than a chip off the underside rim [near top opening] of the sugar bowl [see last pic] which is not visible from the top, very small. Plus one minor tiny fleabite ding on the foot of the creamer. Miniscule. Other than that, No chips, nicks, wear to gold trim, or repairs. There is some normal crazing through glaze normal for age and light use, it is not visible other than in the center of the teacups, where it appears as fine tan lines and those are NOT drastic. Please note- shadow and camera flash make inside of cups look yellowed in photos- they are not.
* Please check my Store under Vintage China for a matching large gravy boat which has a spout at each end and an attached underplate. I combine shipping *
A magnificent set. Terrific for a collector and would be FANTASTIC in use for dessert, coffee, tea etc- they just do NOT make beautiful sets like this anymore.
Would look very nice on display in a china cabinet as well.
Ships fully insured with tracking provided. As always, my items are packed with EXTRA bubble wrap and extreme care to insure a safe arrival.
