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.
