This beautiful antique tea set includes four matching tea cups, four saucers and four tea plates, decorated in a rich cranberry red ground with lavish hand-applied gilt decoration throughout. The elegant scalloped form, embossed detailing and ornate gilded finish create a striking example of late Victorian English porcelain.
Each cup features a beautifully moulded body with petal-shaped panels, elegant gilt handles and extensive gold embellishment. Matching decoration continues across every saucer and tea plate, creating a wonderfully decorative and cohesive cabinet set. The set carries the early Aynsley crown backstamp together with a registered design number, consistent with production during the late Victorian period.
