Shelley England Regency Tea Set Teapot Green Gold Cups Saucers Plates Vtg 13 Pc

  

The set includes one teapot with lid, one creamer, two tea cups, three saucers, and six bread and butter plates. All pieces are marked Fine Bone China - Shelley - England. The teapot holds almost five cups when filled to the brim.

Condition is very good vintage overall, with light surface wear and gilt wear consistent with age and gentle use. One teacup has a small dark area inside the bowl, and another shows a faint purplish discoloration on the handle and the side, both consistent with oxidation or reaction of the gold decoration over time and not structural damage. The side of the teapot lid shows a greenish discoloration similar in tone to the body color, likely from glaze or firing variation, and there is visible wear to the gold on the top of the teapot lid, as shown in the photos. No cracks or repairs were observed. Please see photos they are part of the description.
