Pink florals, gold gilt handle, fine Stoke-on-Trent porcelain — the kind of piece that would have lived in dining rooms in the latter half of the 19th century.

Stoke-on-Trent porcelain, c. 1850–1899

Height with plate: 5.5"

Ships, wrapped carefully — this one's survived 170 years, we're not going to let it down now. See less
