HISTORY:
My wife is cleaning out our "overgrown" collection of mainly English chinaware because she has quality chinaware coming out of our ears!
She has collected quite a bit of Royal Doulton over the years but is now "thinning out" her collection, preferring to focus on the older chinaware, pre 1930's
DLAT Rating: 9.9/10 (Darling, Look At This!)

ROYAL DOULTON - Teacup, Saucer & Side Plate
Made in England (not "off-shore" as happened with some companies during this period)
Standard English "one cup" teacup, not demitasse!
I am offering one complete trio, every piece is available separately (= maximum purchasing flexibility) and if the complete trio is purchased, the price is automatically discounted in the checkout.
Translucent (you can easily see the shadow of your fingers when any piece is held to a bright light)
Series: H5035
Royal Doulton produced a number of other patterns under the H5035 series e.g Braemar, these Counterpoint's are a little more difficult to find.
Pattern: Counterpoint
Instead of trying to describe the design, here is a closeup photograph
NO pieces have Gold gilding, instead Royal Doulton has decorated the rims on all pieces with Platinum.
The base is a fine bone china, brilliant White (not Cream(ish) in appearance)
BACKSTAMP DETAILS:
Here is a photograph of the backstamp used on these pieces ...
