This Swinnertons Staffordshire tea set of six cups, six saucers and six side plates is the design Nestor Vellum - the design of a red rose transfer pattern with gilding on each piece - what is distinctive is that each side plate has the stamp - ALEXANDRIA. The set was a wedding present given in 1960 - it has been kept boxed up and does not appear to have ever been used. Each piece is in excellent condition - see photographs.
