Tonight I'm happy to offer, from a recently purchased estate, Shelley, 1960's, "Mulder and Zoon Clematis" Pattern - #2420 - "Dainty" Shape, Tea Cup and Saucer. MINT CONDITION! NO RESERVE! This elegant and graceful tea cup is in excellent if not MINT condition and I suspect has rarely if ever been used, on inspection, I could not find a mark on either the cup or saucer. The cup is done in Shelley's "Dainty" shape, featuring a deeply scalloped gold rim, green detailed handle and green detailed base. The main color of the cup is a crisp white featuring a surrounding motif of shaded white and deep purple clematis and green leaf detail. The saucer mirrors the outside of the cup and both pieces are in excellent if not MINT condition with no cracks, chips, crazing or loss to the color or design. The cup is listed in the Shelley Tea Ware Book as "Mulder and Zoon Clematis" the pattern introduced in the early 1960's. I would safely guess that the tea cup dates from the early 1960's. The cup is marked on the bottom with the familiar Shelley Banner mark, England, Fine Bone China and the number -2420-. I'm not that familiar with English porcelains, the marks are shown and I'm sure the Shelley collectors will be able to put an exact date on the cup, if you have any information about the marks please feel free to e-mail.
