DUCHESS - Teacup & Saucer ONLY
This teacup & saucer are available as separate items or if purchased together, a discount is automatically applied
Made in England
Circa period 1970's ~ 1980's ("Modern" China)
Fine brilliant White Bone China base, my wife calls these "Snow White" (no dwarfs though!)
Translucent, meaning if held to the light you can see your fingers through the china
Design: The pattern name is not identified or known but it really leans towards the simplistic side! All surfaces are a bright, clean White with only Gold gilding used for the equally simplistic finishing touches to the plain (not scalloped) rims and the back of the teacup handle.

85mm diameter mouth x 75mm height

CLEAN
NO cracks
NO fleabites (on the saucer in particular)
NO discolouration to the brilliant White base colouring or inside the teacup

Gilding is in very good condition with no signs of handling or washing wear to either piece.
Nice, simple, Duchess teacup and saucer which presents with very clean lines which will suit use with just about any other tableware.
