Adderley Bone China Dinner Set Scroll Floral Gold Trim Cup Saucer Plate
Up for sale is a beautiful and elegant vintage English fine bone china tea service for 6 by the renowned maker Adderley, dating back to the late 1940s c. This collectible set features a stunning mint green border adorned with classical gilt detailing and delicate grey/brown vine scrolls. It is a perfect addition for any collector of British porcelain or for hosting elegant tea parties. The set includes 19 pieces in total. 6 Dessert / Bread plates. 1 Large cake serving platter with handles CONDITION: Excellent vintage structural condition. ABSOLUTELY NO chips, NO cracks, and NO crazing (micro-fractures in glaze). The porcelain rings beautifully when tapped. The gold trim is in very good shape with minimal vintage wear. The set has been thoroughly and gently washed. IMPORTANT GLAZE / FACTORY NOTE: Please note that all pieces feature an authentic postwar factory glaze characteristic - a light underglaze beige/smoky shading ("kiln mist" or pooling) concentrated around the centers and well-crevices. The surface of every single piece is completely smooth, clean, and highly glossy. This is not wear, damage, or post-factory staining from use, but a natural result of the original historical firing process where the pigmented glaze pooled slightly thicker in the design crevices. It serves as a genuine testament to its age and has been fully factored into the pricing.
