Sold by Touch of Time Antiques

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.

Dimensions:

Cup: 7cm high, 250ml

Saucer: 14.5cm diameter

Side plate: 18.2cm diameter

Dessert plate: 20.5cm diameter

Condition: Excellent, no damage or restoration and only minimal handling ware.

Declaration

Touch of Time Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
