Description
Add some sparkle and shine to your tea or coffee time!
This vintage teacup and saucer are made of white porcelain bone china with a smooth, high gloss finish. The pattern is extremely rare and features silver leaves, silver vines, and blue flowers that look like morning glories. The silver shines with a mirror-like finish.
The teacup and saucer set are made by Wedgwood and the pattern number is AMH9145. In my searches I could not find any of these teacups or saucers available for sale on any website, making this a rare vintage find.
The tea cup has a flared shape, the handle is simple and gracefully curved, and is footed. The saucer has a matching high-shine flower design, giving it an elegant look. This is a classic, elegant vintage piece that is also functional.
Based on the backstamp, and the lack of the trademark symbol, the production of these pieces to 1940 - 1974. The circle R symbol was added to the Wedgwood backstamp in 1974.
Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood, and is a hallmark of English craftsmanship and innovation. Known for its fine bone china and iconic designs, the brand revolutionized pottery with timeless creations like Jasperware and creamware.
Wedgwood's lusterware, with its radiant iridescent finishes, adds a unique touch of opulence to any collection. With a legacy of royal endorsements and unparalleled quality, Wedgwood continues to be a symbol of elegance and artistry, perfect for both dining and display.
Like most fine china this is dishwasher safe, but dishwasher detergent could be hard on the glaze. Not microwave safe due to the real metal in the pattern. A swab test was conducted on the surface of a sample set of the items, and all swab tests were negative for lead.
Approximate Measurements:
- Tea Cup: 4 1/2" long x 2 3/4" tall (including handle)
- Saucer: 5 1/2" diameter
The items have been cleaned.
Condition:
These are in exceptional condition given their age, but are vintage pieces so some wear is expected. The saucers are all in very good condition with no visible crazing, no chips, and no cracks.
The tea cups vary in condition with some having no visible damage to the glaze and others having crazing inside the cup. Some minor wear to the silver is present on some pieces.
