Bell China was the trade name used by Shore & Coggins Ltd, England
The backstamp indicates the period this piece came from was somewhere between 1936 & 1966 although I feel the late 1930's would be more accurate for these pieces based on the hand painted decoration, art deco style of colouring and teaset pieces design (teacup handle shape in particular)
I have more pieces from our "Wallflowers" teaset, take a look HERE if interested
DLAT Rating: 9/10 (Darling Look At This!)

CONDITION:
I currently have two of these saucers left, both are almost in identical condition so the details below apply to both saucers with any additional comments relating to each saucer below
Both Saucers are in ...
Very good condition
NO cracks
NO fleabites
NO crazing
Wear to the gold gilding is minimal, if I was to rate the quality of the gilding both are 9/10
One saucer at first glance appears to have a tiny/light mark near the artwork but upon closer examination it is the same coloured paint (light purple) and seems that the artists hand 'slipped' while doing her craft
First to purchase will of course be able to choose which saucer they want, if buying both saucers that I have left, an automatic discount will apply
