Description

This is an antique Wedgwood coffee service made in England for Hardy Brothers, a renowned Australian jeweler and luxury goods retailer. The set features a rich claret (deep burgundy) glaze adorned with gilded accents and a black rim with intricate gold decorations. The set includes:

A coffee pot with an elegant pedestal base and a long spout,

A sugar bowl with a lid,

A creamer with a wing-shaped handle, and

Five cups with matching saucers.

Pieces like this were often marketed as premium items, showcasing both functional use and decorative appeal. These sets are sought after by collectors due to their rarity and their association with both Wedgwood and Hardy Brothers. Each piece bears the Wedgwood mark and pattern number X9927.

Services with this pattern (X9927) were produced in two variants: black-gold and white-gold rims. White-gold rimmed services are relatively common in the antique market, while black-gold rimmed versions are exceedingly rare. The latter were produced in very limited quantities specifically for Hardy Brothers, making them highly valuable today.

The Wedgwood Pottery Company has been in operation for over 250 years. Founded in 1759 in England by Josiah Wedgwood, the company quickly became renowned for its high-quality pottery and innovative designs. In its early years, Josiah Wedgwood focused on creating new types of pottery to meet the demands of a changing market. He introduced various groundbreaking techniques, including transfer printing, which allowed intricate designs to be applied to pottery quickly and efficiently. Over the years, Wedgwood has continued to innovate, gaining worldwide recognition for its exceptional craftsmanship. The company has received numerous awards for its designs and remains a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Dimensions:

Coffee pot: height 20.5 cm, width 17 cm, capacity 720 ml.

Cups: height 5.8 cm, capacity 85 ml.

Total service weight: 1580 grams.

Condition:

The coffee pot has a chip on the inside of the rim that is not visible when the lid is closed.

There are traces of coffee inside, which can be removed with careful cleaning.

Two small hairline cracks are present, but they are not visible from the outside.

Overall, the service is in excellent condition. There are minor, barely noticeable losses to the claret enamel on some pieces, which are hardly discernible.

Please carefully review the accompanying photographs as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to assist you. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance. Please note that shipping costs include labor, packaging, and postage.

Edwardian porcelain coffee services typically feature refined classical motifs, vibrant enamel glazes, and intricate gilding, reflecting the elegance of the early 20th century.

These sets were crafted from fine bone china or porcelain, hand-finished with rich coloured grounds, raised enamel details, and gilded accents applied by skilled artisans.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks, registration numbers on the base, hand-painted pattern codes, and characteristic weight and translucency of the ceramic body.

Displaying the set on a polished mahogany sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet introduces a touch of historic colour and sophisticated craftsmanship to a room.

Wash pieces gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers, abrasive sponges, and prolonged soaking to protect the delicate gilding.
