Royal Chelsea Spring Violets 3-Pc Bone China Tea Set Rare- mint condition

Rare Royal Chelsea "Spring Violets" Pattern 4199A Bulbous Tea Set Mint Conditon. For your consideration is an exceptionally rare, mid-century 3-piece fine bone china tea service set by Royal Chelsea New Chelsea Porcelain Co. While the standard tall pear-shaped demitasse/coffee pots from the "Spring Violets" line appear occasionally, this set features the incredibly elusive, traditional low-slung bulbous globe teapot. This true tea profile silhouette is nearly impossible to find on the secondary market. All three pieces feature pristine, vibrant purple violet transfers and intact hand-painted stipple gold sponging on the handles, rims, and spouts.

Hand-Crafted Production Marks: This set features its original hand-painted artisan marks alongside the iconic underglaze fouled anchor backstamps. Teapot Lid Interior: Hand-painted gold gilder's mark. Creamer Underside: Hand-painted purple painter's tally mark.

Sugar Bowl Underside: Hand-painted green painter's tally mark. Teapot & Lid: Mint, pristine condition. Absolutely zero crazing, chips, cracks, or gold wear. No crazing, chips, cracks, or gold wear. Covered Sugar Bowl: Excellent vintage condition.

Features beautiful gold detailing and is structurally perfect (no chips or cracks), with a network of minor, microscopic age-crazing to the clear glaze layer on the base, typical of fine 1950s English porcelain. An absolute holy grail trio for collectors looking to complete a premier Royal Chelsea violet service.
