SET 4 Aynsley Bone China Leighton Cobalt and Gold rimmed soup Bowls

THIS IS FOR 4 BOWLS of these very hard to find Aynsley bone china rimmed soup bowls 7 7/8 in the elegant Leighton pattern : a deep cobalt blue rim with an articulate 24kt gold gilding. Condition is Excellent, with no chips, crack, staining or gouging knife marks. Looks like these were seldom used. Cobalt reflects as Black in some photos but it is definitely cobalt in life.

These are translucent: you really can see your hand's shadow through them. This is a property of good porcelain/bone china. Aynsley was one of the first potteries in England to specialize in Bone China creating a very strong china that is thinner and lighter than others. Queen Victoria recognized their quality by granting a royal warrant which is why they have a royal crown in their logo. In England everyone knows Aynsley is synonymous with high-end quality bone china.

Also have other plates and cup and saucers in this pattern.
