Lot 6: A Set of Yellow and Gilt Porcelain Tea Wares in the Dresden Style
A set of fine porcelain tea wares featuring a broad, textured yellow border decorated with scrolling gilt foliate patterns. Each piece is further embellished with polychrome transfer-printed floral bouquets and sprigs in various colours, including roses and forget-me-nots. The cups are of footed form with scrolled, gilt-accented handles, and the matching saucers feature scalloped rims with gilt lining. The decoration is characteristic of mid-20th-century English manufacturers such as Tuscan or Hammersley, resembling the Naples pattern, though no factory marks are visible on the items shown. The pieces are presented with other assorted ceramic wares including a blue and white transferware cup and botanical pattern plates.
Condition report:
The porcelain appears to be in good condition overall. There is some minor wear to the gilding, consistent with age and use. No significant chips, cracks, or restorations are visible. Adhesive labels and stickers are present on several items.
