This vintage ceramic novelty set is hand painted on one side with a fox hunting scene- rider in his “pink” jacket riding with the hounds by his side. The opposite side is decorated with a saddle with stirrups inside a classical wreath. The spouts are fox heads in full cry and the handles are fox tails or riding crops-you be the judge. The creamer has identical scenes as the plteapot. The lid for the teapot is wonky but fits and is decorated with a fox head and a riding helmet for a knob. This set of teapot with lid and creamer are charming and a little silly but would be fun to use for afternoon tea.
