Attractive China Tea Service Gladstone Potteries

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Limited Editions
Description

This tea service comes from the Longton potteries of George Proctor and Co from around 1930. (the stamp on the bases dates from the 1920s to 1940, we suspect this pattern to be rather earlier than later. The service is in good condition and still has great colour. There is a good selection of pieces which include Cream/milk jug and sugar bowl, six cups and six saucers, six side plates and two cake plates. A total of 22 pieces and we will include a further six side plates. this makes a total of 28 pieces.

The price for the 22 pieces is £100 and the other plates come free. We can pack and post these but are somewhat reluctant as most carriers will not insure this sort of item and care seems a little short supply recently. We have a couple of other tea services in stock, please check out our web site in the next few days.

The items of course vary in size so we can enter this information below. for sake of good measure we have shown the size of a side plate

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Gladstone China was manufactured in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, a key centre of the Staffordshire pottery industry established in the late nineteenth century. These tea services typically feature translucent bone china decorated with hand-painted or transfer-printed borders, reflecting early twentieth-century British afternoon tea culture.

Gladstone china items were crafted using fine bone china, composed of clay, feldspar, and bone ash for added strength and whiteness. Pieces were finished with a clear glaze, overglaze printed designs, and hand-applied metallic gilding along the handles and rims.

Authentic pieces are identified by backstamps printed on the underside, typically featuring the name Gladstone China or Gladstone Potteries alongside Staffordshire manufacturing marks. Authentic bone china also exhibits high translucency when held up to a direct light source.

A vintage china tea service can be displayed inside glass-fronted dressers, arranged along open kitchen shelves, or positioned on a sideboard top to introduce historical character to contemporary dining spaces.

Vintage bone china with metallic gilding should be washed by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive sponges, and microwave usage, as harsh chemicals and heat cause gilding and delicate transfer decoration to degrade over time.
