Antique china find!

[sister_raphael]

I found this sweet antique chine in an old second hand shop whilst road tripping to Newcastle Medieval Festival and hadn't thought to share it as it isn't a full set and really, I only bought them to use as photography props for book ads for Mother's Day and that kind of thing, but I was very very excited to see that a new DW friend actually loves collecting old china, and I thought they might like to see these! There's no maker's mark at all, only the numbers 53 on each piece, which I first thought was a lot number, but it's under the glaze. No idea where it's from but it looks old-ish.

I have an antique book collection and also a few vintage kitchen things just because they're cool, but due to limited space, I don't have that much. I do pick up fun things in op shops sometimes, but they're usually to be repurposed into medieval things.

These would have been part of a much bigger set, and all that remains are three cups (only one has flowers still on the inside, but you won't see inside if I have tea in them), two saucers, a round butter plate and the square cake plate. They really are pretty sweet and perfect for pink, girly props with berries in a cup, or celebration cake or something!

53 is the year of manufacture.

No maker's mark means it's not 'fine' china but it is pretty.

Thanks so much!

And looking around a bit I think it might be a rip off of Meissen ware.

wow, such a gorgeous set!! those molded details are wonderful. the handle shape is a nice touch as well - I've seen Spode and Coalport make similarly shaped handles, though not quite exactly the same.

I'm always a sucker for a scalloped edge on teacups, it just makes them look so much cuter ^u^

Scalloped edges are pretty cute! :)
