HISTORY:

While my wife and I have always collected 'older' English chinaware, often it is not practical for everyday use, only being 'brought out' on special occasions.

However, this Calico Red design tableware has been a standard, everyday use chinaware and of a much later period, the late 1980's

I am also offering other items of 'Calico Red' HERE - we decided that offering these piece by piece offered those interested the greatest flexibility to suit their needs ...

 

ROYAL DOULTON - Saucer

Circa 1988 onwards

Design: Calico Red

Semi-translucent china, meaning that if held to a strong light source you can see the light through the china but at a reduced level compared to 'Bone China'

Style: Octagonal shaped rim with smooth rounded edges

Design: Dominated by a light, pale Red artwork comprising parallel lines and a petite flower (which appear similar to daisy-like) in each of the eight 'corners' around the rim. The flower petals do also have some Green/Blue colouring in addition to the pale Red.

Transferware (the days of hand painted chinaware had long since passed!)

Additional 'modern' features:

Microwave safe

Dishwasher safe

Chip resistant

Freezer safe

Oven safe

That is a pretty extensive list of 'safe' environments! Although I must say that we didn't wish to attempt fate (these were VERY expensive at the time) so we always hand washed in warm water and never put our food into the refrigerator while still on the plate.

Size: 6 inches (148mm) diameter

 

COSMETIC CONDITION:

DESCRIPTION APPLIES TO BOTH SAUCERS (We have two of these)

USED

These saucers are pretty much "perfecto"! No marks or scratches can be seen at all.

Although this is one of our 'everyday' pieces (we have moved onto other types of china these days), we still treat it with respect and it is now within a sealed clear plastic packet to protect it from the environment while waiting for a new 'home'

USED Exactly as described
