Antique Royal Worcester Cup, Saucer & Dessert Plate, French Enamel

  

Cup has slight crazing visible with magnification. Porcelain tea cup, saucer and dessert plate was produced in England by Royal Worcester in 1898. The date cipher indicates this year. The plate is 6 3/4 inches in diameter.

The saucer is 5 3/8 inches in diameter. The cup is 2 1/4 inches tall with a diameter of 3 3/8 inches. The set is made of fine, white bone china that is highly translucent. The ground color is blush, shading from light peach to beige.

The hand enameled decoration of chrysanthemums and foliage is done in high relief and enamel coloring. Chrysanthemum blooms are nearly encrusted.

It is amazing to run your fingers across them, feeling the petals. The edges of each piece are raised scrolls painted light olive green. These scrolls are highlighted with gold. This pattern was a very successful combination of texture, colors and design. It would be a prized possession for any collector.
