Condition
The lot consists of 9 teacups, 9 saucers and 9 sideplates. With the exception of one side plate all are in good overall condition. The set has been used, and as such there is a strong likelihood that some pieces were made as replacements by the artist, who knew the owners well. TEACUPS: 8 out of the 9 teacups are impressed with each artist's seal. The 9th is unmarked. There is a tiny possible chip to the extreme outside of one of the cups, and a separate instance of glaze imperfection visible to the inside of another, visible upon very close inspection, with some further surface dirt and matter visible in line with historic use. SAUCERS: Each saucer is unmarked, but in keeping with the nature of the rest of the set. There are the odd minor instances of imperfection to the glazing, visible upon closer inspection, and some light surface dirt. SIDE PLATES: Each structurally sound. There are some light traces of surface dirt. Overall the set appears in very good overall condition. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
