This luxurious set features a sophisticated design with a wide, pale mint green band bordered by intricate, raised gold gilt patterns and delicate gold beadwork. Each piece is customized with a stunning, ornate interlocking gold cipher monogram, likely belonging to a founding or prominent family.

The set is in remarkable antique condition for its age. There are no chips, cracks, or excess wear to the porcelain body or the goldwork. Typical and expected with a set of this vintage that has seen occasional use, there are light utensil scratches and minor gilding rub, visible upon close inspection, primarily on the dinner plates. The vibrant color and opulent gilding remain largely intact.

This service, originally retailed by John Mortlock of London, is perfect for grand entertaining or as an heirloom investment.
