Wellington bone china tea-set, Art nouveau, c 1906,'Gilded Violet'. Lovely tea-set in very good condition for its age, rare pattern.

Comprises; 8 cups, 12 saucers (5.5 inches), 12 side plates (7 inches), 2 serving plates (9 inches) and a cream jug. Three of the cups have hairline cracks, only one is visible from the outside at the handle of the cup. There is some wear to some of the gilding on the cups but it is minor and is commensurate with age and use.

The other pieces are in near pristine condition with no cracks and only one or two very small chips the the underside.
