Lot 95: An Individual Hand-Painted Porcelain Cream and Sugar Set on a Fitted Metal Stand
An individual porcelain cream and sugar set comprising a cream jug and a matching open sugar bowl, presented on a custom-fitted metal stand. The porcelain pieces feature delicate ruffled rims highlighted with gilding. The cream jug is designed with a slender pouring spout and a small integrated scrolled handle. Both items are decorated with hand-painted floral sprays depicting pink and blue flowers surrounded by green and brownish foliage. The metal stand, likely silver-plated or a base metal alloy, features a central vertical support terminating in a circular finger loop handle and is raised on four small ball feet. The set is characteristic of late Victorian or Edwardian individual tea service wares. No factory marks or hallmarks are visible on the porcelain or the metal frame.
Condition report:
The porcelain components are in good overall condition with some minor rubbing and wear to the gilded highlights on the ruffled rims. The metal stand exhibits significant surface tarnish and oxidation consistent with age. No chips, cracks, or repairs are visible to the porcelain.
