DUCHESS - Yellow & White Daisies Teacup 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
Yellow and White daisy flowers with foliage on a pure white background, two separate artworks (one on each side of the teacup) with one being larger than the other
Scalloped top rim
Let thar be Gold!
Extensive use of Gold gilding to the handle (back and both sides), base and the top rim
BACKSTAMP DETAILS:
Backstamp design strongly suggests this saucer was made in the period 1960's ~ 1980's based on the Crown graphic placed at the top of the backstamp, very clean, simplified backstamp design and the use of transfer for the decoration.
Black colouring
(Simple graphic of a crown)
