Lot 50: A Collection of Blue and White Bone China Cups with Gilt Accents
A collection of miscellaneous ceramic cups, likely bone china or fine porcelain, featuring various blue transfer-printed floral motifs. The grouping includes several distinct patterns: three cups decorated with clusters of blue roses and foliage; one cup featuring delicate floral sprays resembling bluebells; one cup with a geometric and foliate blue band at the rim above scattered floral motifs; and one cup with a decorative floral border band at the rim. All items share a similar form with rounded bodies and loop handles featuring thumb rests. The cups are further embellished with gold-gilt rims and gilt highlights to the handles. No factory marks or backstamps are visible in the provided images; the items are currently marked with orange price labels. The style is consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century British decorative tea wares, resembling the production of manufacturers such as Queen Anne, Duchess, or Royal Albert.
Condition report:
The collection appears to be in good used condition overall. There are no chips, cracks, or visible repairs to the ceramic bodies. Some minor wear to the gold-gilt trim is present, consistent with age and domestic use.
