About the Date of Manufacture
Late Victorian, say about 1870-1890, when the British Empire was at its height: it was the largest empire in history and, for nearly a century, it was the foremost global power. The British Empire held sway over 400 million people, nearly a quarter of the world population at the time, and the Royal Navy was the most powerful navy in the world. This wonderful set of porcelain china well represents the confidence, comfort and strength of this particular era.
