The set features charming Chinoiserie-style figural scenes framed within shaped cartouches, accented by white porcelain and hand-applied gold detailing. The covered sugar bowl is topped with a gilt finial, while the creamer has a curved handle and gently flared pouring lip.

The St James china is closely associated with Fortnum & Mason’s celebrated London tea service, making these pieces particularly appealing for collectors of English bone china and classic British design.

The sugar bowl retains its original Caverswall China Co. Ltd. retail label, identifying the pattern as “St James,” the color as “Eau de Nil,” and showing its original £48 retail price. The creamer bears the Fortnum & Mason, Piccadilly Since 1707, English Fine Bone China backstamp.

A wonderful pair for an afternoon tea service, bar or coffee station, or simply displayed as decorative objects. The Eau de Nil ground and Chinoiserie decoration give the set a fresh, sophisticated look that works beautifully in traditional, Grandmillennial and Chinoiserie-inspired interiors.
