WEDGWOOD
LICHFIELD BONE CHINA
2-HANDLED BOUILLON CUPS, MADE IN ENGLAND,
LOT OF 2. This auction is for a lovely pair of items
from Wedgwood – a pair of two-handled cups.
They are Wedgewood Bone China, Made in England,
Lichfield, W4156. Double-handled teacups are consommé or
bouillon cups that a hostess uses to hold a light snack when tea is not filling
enough as a beverage. The hostess uses these when she does not have the time or
energy to bring down a soup tureen or bowls. The double handles offer a halfway
measure between a soup bowl and a tea-cup. The double handles are also useful
for giving, especially in Victorian times, broth to invalids who may not be
able to grasp a tea-cup with one or no handles without spilling. They measure 6” long (handle to handle) x 4
½” deep (at rim) x 2 ½” high and weigh 6 ounces each. They are in
excellent condition – no chips/cracks/crackling and a glossy finish. Shipping is $7 within the U.S. only via
USPS First Class Mail. See my other
auctions (including a variety of other Lichfield China pieces that can be
combined to reduce postage costs). SEE
