Description

An exquisite hand-painted English bone china breakfast set by Hammersley, one of the well-respected Staffordshire porcelain manufacturers of the 19th century.

Dating from the Art Nouveau period (c.1887–1912), the set comprises a cup, saucer, side plate and dessert plate, all lavishly decorated with vibrant chrysanthemum flowers in layered pink, cream and lilac tones on a gilded background.

The forms are delicately fluted and lobed, and the china itself is of the finest quality—thin, translucent, and light. Unlike transfer-printed designs of the time, this set features completely hand-painted decoration, suggesting a possible private commission. A rare and outstanding find.

Side plate: 18.2cm diameter

Dessert plate: 20.5cm diameter

FAQs

Hammersley and Co was a renowned English pottery manufacturer based in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, operating from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, celebrated for producing high-quality bone china teaware and decorative porcelain.

Late-Victorian bone china is traditionally crafted from a ceramic paste incorporating bone ash, china clay, and china stone, fired at high temperatures and finished with hand-painted overglaze pigments and gilded accents.

Authentic pieces are identified by examining the makers marks stamped or printed on the underside, evaluating the translucency of the bone china, and observing the characteristic hand-brushwork and application of gold leaf.

These sets can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets as focal points, utilized on open kitchen shelving to add colour and texture, or incorporated into tablescapes for formal dining occasions.

Antique porcelain with hand-painted details and gilding should always be washed by hand using mild detergent and warm water, avoiding abrasive sponges, dishwashers, and prolonged soaking to preserve the finish.
