Antique Foley China England 3 Piece Souvenir Tea Set Southern Pines Pinehurst NC
Here is a rare Tea Cup, Saucer and Side Plate Souvenir Set depicting a stand of Boxed Pine Trees. In the Sandhills of North Carolina Longleaf pine trees marked with carvings, know as boxes were made to collect sap for the making of turpentine, pitch and rosin. These carvings or boxes are represented on the image in white as they appear on the trees.

This antique set was designed and produced by the Foley China Company in England for C. Hayes who had a general merchandise establishment located on the main street of Southern Pines, NC in the late 1800's. Each piece is back stamped with the 1895 Foley China hallmark.

In addition to this mark the daisy shaped tea cup is also stamped with Foley's 1888 registration number RA 115510. Each piece is also marked in black lettering with the following: Made in England for C. The gold trimmed scallop edges on the cup, saucer and plate are in excellent condition with little to no ware loss.

The side plate measures 7 inches in diameter and it's in excellent vintage condition. The scallop designed saucer is also in excellent vintage condition and measures 5 inches across. The very rare and delicate daisy shape tea cup measures 2 7/8 inches across and is excellent condition without any issues. It's my opinion that all the pieces in this 120 year antique souvenir set are in pristine condition and appear unused.

The display stands are not included in the sale. I DO MY VERY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE ITEM OR ITEMS IN MY SALE. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Souvenirs & Travel Memorabilia\United States\North Carolina". The seller is "eddie9339" and is located in this country: US.
