Royal Doulton Ascot Floral Gold Bone China 8 Place 40Piece Tea Set MINT

Hand-painted with exquisite floral motifs - delicate roses, forget-me-nots, and trailing vines in soft cobalt blues and whites - framed by lavish 24K gold rims and borders on translucent bone china (45% bone ash for exceptional strength, shine, and delicacy). The Ascot pattern embodies the sophistication of pre-WWII English design, blending Regency-inspired florals with Deco precision, making it a staple for discerning collectors and tea connoisseurs. This set is not just dinnerware; it's a piece of history - Royal Doulton, with its Royal Warrant since 1901, was renowned for exporting to North America and Europe, where Ascot graced high-society tables.

Whether completing a collection, gifting for anniversaries, or elevating everyday tea rituals, this mint service offers timeless versatility - microwave-safe except for gold areas, dishwasher-safe with care. Full 8-Place 5-Piece Set Includes (40 Pieces Total). 8 Dinner Plates (10.5 diameter, cobalt rim with floral accents). 8 Salad Plates (8.25 diameter, centered floral motif). 8 Bread & Butter Plates (6.5 diameter, gold-edged). 8 Teacups (6 oz, footed shape with blue/gold detailing). 8 Saucers (matching cobalt/gold, scalloped edges). Condition: MINT - Absolutely pristine with no chips, cracks, crazing, fading, or gold wear; like new from original storage, far superior to the typical 60+ year old examples that often show crazing or gold loss (a common flaw in pre-1960 bone china due to firing techniques). This set's flawless preservation elevates its collector status - no microwave-safe gold means it's a display heirloom, not everyday ware, adding to its investment appeal. Brand: Royal Doulton (English Heritage Collection).
