I OFFER FOR AUCTION A VINTAGE "WEDGWOOD" DEMITASSE SET, IN THE "HOUSE OF COMMONS" PATTERN, IN THE ORIGINAL BOX. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS SET FROM A WOMAN WHO BOUGHT THESE, WHILE TAKING A TOUR OF PARLIAMENT, IN THE LATE 1970's OR EARLY 80's. SHE PURCHASED THESE AT THE PARLIAMENT GIFT SHOP, AND SHE SAID THAT IN ALL THE YEARS, SHE HAD USED THEM ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES. THE SET CONSISTS OF 6 CUPS AND SAUCERS. ALL HAVE THE "HOUSE OF COMMONS" PORTCULLIS EMBLEM, AND ALL ARE STAMPED ON THEIR BOTTOMS, "WEDGWOOD BONE CHINA, MADE IN ENGLAND". THE CUPS MEASURE 2 1/2" TALL, AND THE SAUCERS ARE 4 3/4" IN DIAMETER. THE ORIGINAL WEDGWOOD BOX THAT THEY COME IN MEASURES 12 1/2" LONG x 9" WIDE x 3" TALL. ALL OF THE CUPS AND SAUCERS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS, AND ALL HAVE A STRONG GOLD PORTCULLIS EMBLEM. THEY'RE ALSO VERY CLEAN INSIDE, WITH NO STAINS. THE ORIGINAL BOX DOES SHOW SOME MINOR WEAR, A LITTLE SOILING IN SPOTS AND SOME WEAR AROUND THE EDGES, BUT IT'S STILL STRONG, HOLDS THE CUPS AND SAUCERS WELL, AND PROUDLY DISPLAYS THE "WEDGWOOD" NAME. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID WRITE "SPOONS" IN INK, ON ONE OF THE CARDBOARD PIECES THAT SURROUNDS THE PLATES. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THIS IN PICTURE 2. THERE ARE NO SPOONS WITH THIS SET, AND THERE NEVER WERE ANY ORIGINAL SPOONS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SIMPLY FOUND SOME SUITABLE SPOONS
