This saucer IS part of a trio of the same design, split up as we felt the individual pieces may be of more interest to someone - look HERE to see another piece of the same design

 

DLAT Rating 10/10 !!! (Darling Look At This!)

 

DUCHESS - Saucer ONLY

Made in England

Circa period 1960's ~ 1980's

Fine White Bone China

Translucent, meaning if held to the light you can see your fingers through the china

Transferware decorated (assumed) because there are no artists marks although the design 'looks' hand decorated!

Hand gold gilding applied

Pink primroses with foliage on a pure white background, two different designs on each side of the saucer and the larger design also includes what appear to be white snowbell flowers.

It should be noted that although the overall design comprises primroses and some snowbells, each design differs slightly between each piece of the trio i.e the design on the teacup is slightly different to that on the saucer or the side plate.

The colouring is delicate, pastel and very much 'feminine' in appearance

Lightly scalloped rim

Gold gilding to the rim edging only

 

BACKSTAMP DETAILS:

Backstamp design strongly suggests this saucer was produced in the period 1960's ~ 1980's based on the Crown graphic placed at the top of the backstamp, very clean, simplified backstamp design, only the word ENGLAND (not Made In) and the use of transfers for the decoration.

Light Grey colouring
