Masses of gorgeous hand painted flowers in the most brilliant colours, with gilded edges on all pieces, truly spectacular.
The colours and gilding are bright, crisp and fresh, and each piece bears the artist's name F Howard hand written in very small font in among the decoration.
In perfect "as new" original antique condition with no chips, cracks, repairs or restoration that I can identify, these pieces are in pristine condition with absolutely no sign of use. There are a few random, very small kiln fleck or glaze marks, and random areas of micro crazing, entirely consistent with the manual production techniques of the time.
There are no back stamps, but the cup has the pattern number hand written on the base.
I have listed 11 identical sets in varying condition separately, along with matching sugar bowl & milk jug, and serving plate in the same pattern.
