Exquisite Decorative Set of 4 CUPS & SAUCERS from Tunstall, Staffordshire, England, CROWN DUCAL A. DESCRIPTION: The beautiful set of 4 hand painted deep plates was decorated by the A. Richardson & Company, Gordon Pottery studio using a multi-color color palette on cream. There are 2 large blue urns with floral/fruit sprays. The 8 sided cup changes to a smooth circle at the rim. The rims are smooth, painted mustard yellow, and on the inside encircled by a geometric garland. The outside of the cup has the floral/fruit design on the cream part above the mustard yellow line that follows the embossing.

Below this line is the white of the Ducal Ware. The saucer has a similar treatment. This listing is for a set of 4 cups and saucers. We have a quantity of 2 making the total available 8.

There are no chips, other nicks, cracks, rubbings, scratches or hairlines. There is very minor mustard wear on one saucer. These two items will be in the second set of 4.

DIMENSIONS: The saucers have a diameter of 5 3/4" and a height of 13/16". The cups have a diameter of 3 5/8" and a height of 2 1/4".. The capacity of each cup is ounces.

Richardson founded the pottery in 1915 operating at the Gordon Pottery in Tunstall, UK and subsequently in 1934 opened the Britannia Pottery in Cobridge. This new pottery was a model for its time resulting in maximum production with a minimum of effort. The Gordon Pottery in Tunstall continued in operation until 1942 when it closed due to the war effort. The pottery continued in business until 1974 (when it was bought by Wedgewood) operating under the name of A.

Richardson & Company of Staffordshire, UK and is considered one of the 1500 Stoke-on-Trent potters. The company is best known for its dinnerware. Crown Ducal Ware Made in England is cited in Geoffrey A. At the Gordon Pottery in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England.
