Salisbury Crown China Works which were located in Longton.

DLAT Rating 9/10 (Darling Look At This!)

SALISBURY Bone China
Teacup ONLY
China is opaque, meaning that when held to the light you cannot see through the material
We do currently have the trio but in the interests of offering the greatest number of options, each item is advertised separately … take a look HERE
Pure white base with a high lustre
Design is Plum Primroses with foliage arranged in a continuous pattern around the upper section of the teacup
Gold gilding to the handle on ONE side only (where the finger does not go!) also around the base and of course the top scalloped rim
Artwork appears to be transferware and this is supported by no artists marks on the backstamp
Gilding however is hand decorated

DIMENSIONS:
Standard English teacup (not a demi)
Mouth 89mm diameter
Height 74mm
Handle (standard slightly upturned) sits a further 25mm out from the teacup side
Good sized hook for the finger!

Backstamp is printed in a pale blue

To the side of this printed backstamp is the markings of the Gold gilding artist
The backstamp suggests this teacup is a product from the 1970’s, not long before Salisbury closed down.
CONDITION:NO cracksNO crazingNO discolouration
Gold gilding (handle, top outer rim and base area) is in very good condition, practically NO WEAR

Very nice teacup and when part of a trio, a stunning alternative to the much more common “standard roses” themed trio’s
