A lovely little Royal Worcester tea set, made for those who like their tea with a side of late Victorian elegance.
The set includes one finely made porcelain cup, model 1471, dated 1891, together with two matching Royal Worcester saucers, model 1196, dated 1902. Each piece has a soft satin blush glaze, gently shifting from warm apricot to creamy white, with moulded bamboo-style ribs giving the whole set a rather refined botanical feel.
The cup has a delicately scalloped rim, an ornate gilt handle, raised gilded detail, and brown botanical transfer decoration. The saucers continue the bamboo-style moulding, radiating neatly from the centre like a very well-behaved sunburst.
The porcelain has that fine Royal Worcester translucency and crisp modelling associated with the factory’s late Victorian and Edwardian production — delicate, decorative, and just a little bit showy in the best possible way.
Measurements
Weight: 300 g
Cup height: 6 cm / 2.36″
Cup diameter, rim to handle: 10 cm / 3.94″
Saucer diameter: 13 cm / 5.12″
Condition
Very good antique condition overall. There is a tiny chip to the base of the cup, light wear to the gilding, and minor firing or glaze imperfections to the saucers. The porcelain remains bright and attractive, with no cracks or visible repairs.
