About Aynsley:
Aynsley was founded in 1775 in Staffordshire, England, and became one of the most respected makers of fine bone china. Known for elegant shapes, detailed decoration, and excellent quality, Aynsley pieces were even chosen by the British Royal Family for wedding china. Collectors especially value their floral designs and innovative cup shapes.
The Corset Shape:
The “corset” teacup shape emerged in the early 20th century and was named for its silhouette, which gently narrows at the center like a corset. This elegant form highlights the decoration while giving the cup a refined, feminine presence — a favorite among tea and china enthusiasts.
A beautiful display piece and a collectible example of Aynsley’s craftsmanship.
