Step back into the height of Victorian elegance with this exquisite three-piece tea set. Crafted in Wedgwood’s iconic Portland Blue—the deepest, most prestigious shade of the Jasperware spectrum—this set is a masterclass in 19th-century ceramic artistry.

Rare Craftsmanship & Detail
Dating to approximately 1885, this set represents the superior quality of early "dipped" Jasperware. Unlike later solid-color pieces, these were created by dipping a white stoneware body into a rich blue dip, providing a depth of color that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.

The applied white bas-relief figures are exceptionally crisp, showcasing classical scenes with a level of detail that remains remarkably sharp after over 140 years.

Set Components & Dimensions
This stately set includes a Teapot, a covered Sugar Box, and a Cream Jug, all maintaining a cohesive and grand aesthetic.
Measurements:
Tea Pot - 6"Wx8"Lx4"H
Sugar Box - 5"Wx6"Lx4"H
Cream Jug - 4"Wx6.5"Lx4"H

Highlights for the Collector:

Era: Mid-to-late Victorian (c. 1885).
Color: Striking "Portland Blue" (Dark Blue) dip.
Condition: Very Good; well-preserved with vibrant contrast and intact relief work.
Authenticity: A classic example of Wedgwood’s heritage, perfect for a serious collector or as a centerpiece for a high-tea service.

Note: As an authentic antique set from the 1880s, the "crispness" of the white relief against the dark blue dip makes this a particularly "clean" and high-contrast example of the period's best work. See less
