FAQs

Late Victorian tea services, such as those produced by Wileman & Co. under the Foley trade name, represent the high point of 19th-century Staffordshire ceramic production. These sets gained popularity due to advancements in transfer printing and elaborate press-moulded porcelain body shapes.

These sets were constructed using fine bone china, which combines bone ash, kaolin, and china stone to produce a translucent yet durable ceramic body. Designs were applied using printed enamel transfers, often completed with hand-painted accents and gilded rims.

Authenticity is verified by examining the printed or impressed manufacturer backmarks on the base, such as the Wileman or Foley crests, alongside specific pattern registration numbers and distinctive body mould shapes like the daisy or alexandra style.

A complete tea set can be styled atop a dining sideboard, displayed inside a glass front cabinet, or separated into individual trios to create decorative vignettes on coffee tables and dressers.

Antique bone china should be hand washed using mild washing-up liquid and warm water, avoiding abrasive sponges. Pieces with gilding or enamel patterns must not be placed in dishwashers or microwaves.
