This very pretty floral tea ware collection comprises 22 matching bone china trios and china accompaniments for your special party celebrations . The pieces are carefully selected to give you an attractive mix of harmonising colours and designs. All the china goes well together and is in good condition, no chips or cracks just slight rubbing as you would expect with genuine vintage china. The lot includes 22 vintage bone china trios (each cup, saucer and plate matching), 3 good sized china tea pots, 3 large cake/sandwich plates, 3 jug and bowl sets and a beautiful three tier cake stand. The English manufacturers include; Colclough, Royal Worcester, Windsor, Argyle and Royal Standard. Two tea pots are bone china and the other is of a stronger china and works well with the rest of the collection. You can collect from the North Essex area or I will post. I have estimated £28 for postage, but if it costs substantially less I will refund you a fair amount (if it costs more that is my loss!) Pictures - 1) A part selection of the lot on the dresser 2) The whole lot on the table 3 - 6) Details of the designs This is one of the prettiest lots I have put together - I hope you can see that from the photos. If you'd like me to email you further detailed pictures, please ask. Payment - Please note; whether you intend to collect or have the goods posted, please settle by PayPal at the end of the auction. Questions: - In the past I have been asked about packing and posting - I take great care, and wrap each piece separately in bubblewrap, then pack like items together (say plates) and wrap again in bubblewrap. I line the box with (yes you guessed it) bubblewrap and fill in the gaps with the stuff too. I pack the heavier pieces at the bottom, and the lighter ones at the top. If you don't wish to collect, then with this lot I plan to make three parcels, and if the purchaser is happy, I will dismantle the cake stand - it is very easy to screw it back together again. Vulnerable parts, like spouts are given a cocoon of wrapping - one couldn't do more. However, if something was broken, I would make a fair compensation, in agreement with the purchaser. Another question I've been asked is - "How mixed is the china"? I mentioned in the main text that one of the tea pots is not bone china, but still goes well with the rest and is stronger because of that. I hope it is clear in the pictures that the whole lot is selected from different tea sets, all harmonising nicely together. The idea with these mixed party/celebration sets is that all the pieces go with each other to make a decorative toning effect as a whole - in this lot each trio matches (ie each individual cup, saucer and plate are of the same pattern). But if you wanted to mix it all up, and create the popular shabby-chic look, then I've chosen patterns and colourways that harmonise with each other. Two of the large sandwich plates match the china and an extra nice Royal Worcester cake plate compliments the lot well. The tiered cake stand, which by the way is the prettiest of pieces, is made from matching parts. It is my aim to offer lots that please - should you be disappointed with anything I would do my utmost to recompense. Thank you for looking at my china - I intend to offer a couple of other sets in different colourways later this week - so you may like to browse my other items too. Please note I also have another cake stand like this one on offer - so if you'd be interested in a pair for your set - please have a look at my other items. read more
