The listing is for a coffee cup and saucer (demitasse duo) and a matching creamer made by Derby (later became Royal Crown Derby) during Hancock and Stevenson period (1863-1866).

Condition:

All the pieces are in very good display condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. The base of the cup has some light, clean crazing in the glaze. This is not obvious at all and the cup still gives a nice ring when tapped on the body. The saucer and creamer do not have any crazing and still give a healthy ring when tapped.

Note:

All our items are vintage/ antique and previously used, unless stated otherwise. Therefore, some wear marks are to be expected. For antique pieces (ie items which are over 100 years old), kiln dusts/ kiln splits which happened during production process should not be seen as flaws. Antique pieces were fired using coals as supposed to gas fire so temperature control was not always accurate. We always try to describe our items accurately and will always point out any obvious flaws.

If you love English antique porcelain/ fine china, please check out my other listing for items from other factories such as H and R Daniel (H & R Daniel, Coalport, Brown Westhead and Moore, Mason’s ironstone, Cauldon, Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester etc. I occasionally sell pretty Limoges porcelain too.
