Description: Truly exceptional and elaborate 18th century 21 piece tea set by Worcester. Please excuse the dust on the items as this is not any kind of glaze flaws. These sets are almost unheard of as most sets did not survive the 250+ years that this set has been through. Given the age, it has survived in amazing condition with each piece still retaining 99% of original gilding. The pattern is unknown as I could not find any other examples decorated like this set though I did find the same ribbed forms of the vessels. All pieces are marked with the under glaze blue crescent mark except for one saucer which restorations have covered the mark. The set is almost complete but is missing six saucers. Free shipping for U.S. only. Breakdown of the lot and conditions listed below: 1 - Teapot. 6in. tall, 5 3/8in. diameter. No restorations, cracks, or spout chips. Couple of small chips to inside flange and couple of chips to inside flange of lid [photos] none of which is seen from outside. 1- Lidded milk jug. 7.25in. tall, 4 1/8in. diameter. No restorations, chips or cracks but the lid has one small edge chip [photo] and one frit [very small chip] about 1.5mm wide. None of which is obvious and have to look hard to see. 1- Lidded sugar pot. 4 7/8in. tall and 4 5/8in. diameter. Old restorations to body and lid none of which extend into the floral sprays. No chips. Finial has not been broke or repaired. 12 - Tea cups, 1.75in. tall and 3 3/8in. diameter. 8 of which are in excellent condition with NO chips, cracks or restorations. 3 cups with old restorations near top of handles none of which extend into floral sprays and are not obvious.
