Lot 86: A Set of Bone China Floral and Gilt Decorated Tea and Breakfast Wares

A set of fine porcelain tea and breakfast wares featuring a bright green ground and elaborate gilt decoration. Each piece is embellished with transfer-printed floral sprays of roses, pansies, and forget-me-nots, contained within scrolling gilt cartouches. The decoration is further enhanced with scrolling foliate gilt borders to the rims and footed bases, with the handles also finished in gilding. The collection includes teacups with footed bases and scrolled handles, corresponding circular saucers, and square-form side or sandwich plates with scalloped corners.

A white adhesive label is present on one cup featuring a handwritten inventory number ‘12951’ over ‘D’. Another item bears a white rectangular adhesive auction lot label printed with ‘SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS’ and the lot number ’86’ below a barcode. These adhesive labels are not permanent features of the porcelain. The bases of the items are not visible to confirm any manufacturer marks or country of origin.
