146-PC Minton'Ancestral' Fine Bone China Dinner Service Set for 18 England

This elegant estate collection provides service for eighteen and includes an outstanding assortment of serving pieces, making it increasingly difficult to duplicate today. The Ancestral pattern is one of Minton's most graceful designs, featuring delicate pink, cranberry, and turquoise floral sprays accented with richly detailed gold scrollwork on softly fluted fine bone china.

Its timeless English elegance makes it equally suited for formal entertaining, holiday gatherings, or display in a fine china cabinet. Included in this Set 18 Dinner Plates - 10¼" 18 Salad Plates - 8" 18 Bread & Butter Plates - 6¼" 20 Cream Soup Bowls 20 Cream Soup Saucers 22 Coffee Cups 22 Coffee Saucers Covered Sugar Bowl with Lid Cream Pitcher 17½" Oval Serving Platter 10½" Covered Vegetable Dish 10¾" Oval Serving Bowl Gravy Boat with Attached Underplate Condition Excellent vintage estate condition. Every piece was individually inspected.

No chips, cracks, repairs, or crazing were found. The porcelain remains bright white with vibrant floral decoration and brilliant gold trim throughout.

Only a very small number of pieces display light utensil marks consistent with careful use, while the overwhelming majority appear to have seen little or no use. Please review all photographs carefully prior to purchasing, as they are an important part of the description. Why This Set Stands Out: Genuine Minton England fine bone china Complete service for eighteen Rare 145-piece estate collection Includes desirable serving pieces Extra cups for entertaining Beautifully preserved with exceptional gold trim Increasingly difficult to assemble today This remarkable dinner service would make an outstanding addition to a collector's home, an elegant dining room, or anyone seeking one of England's finest porcelain patterns.
