Description.
Produced at the Cauldon Street works during the period 1810-50, this particular pattern was made right at the commencement of that date span. The pattern bears number 2/5
Light blue ground, outside of which are pink flowers edged in gilt and stylised gilded foliage. Further gilded details to the centre of the saucer and the inner rim of the cup. The shape of the piece is the Ridgway 'Grecian' pattern.
Superbly potted, painted and gilded, this is a very high quality piece indeed.
Condition.
In almost as new condition. No apparent defects, apart from the virtually endemic Ridgway crazing, which is visible only on very close inspection and has not led to any discolouration of the piece.
Dimensions.
Saucer – 14 cm in diameter.
Cup – 9 cm in diameter.
We do not offer combined postage as the figure we charge reflect the time taken to pack and source packaging material which is incredibly time-consuming. Ultimately, it is the combined price which reflects the true cost.See our other items. If you like what you see, we do have other items that are not necessarily listed and which may be of interest.
We use recycled packaging. It helps our environmental footprint, but does not necessarily look very pretty!
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
