Up for sale is a wonderful antique Wileman (early Shelley) trio set consisting of 1 cup, 1 saucer and 1 tea plate. This set is in the snowdrop shape and decorated with a twintone (lilac or mauve & green) trailing violets pattern on a white ground. The factory marks date it to 1894 - 1910.

Approximate sizes: 

Cup - 2 1/4 inches or 5.75 cms tall

Saucer -  5.5 inches or 14 cms in diameter

Plate - 7 inches or 18 cm in diameter

The pieces are all stamped with the factory mark and various registration marks depicting the registration of the pattern & shape.

Condition (see all photos):  There is just a very tiny nic / surface imperfection to the rim of the plate affecting underside & rim only, and similar to saucer, both have been gilded over. A couple of rough areas / imperfections to the rims of saucer and plate that have been gilded over. Two surface imperfections to plate. Small imperfection to foot rim of cup (see photos) you can see in photo 10 that this is barely noticeable when cup is flat on the surface. Small dark spot to inside base of cup. All pieces - very little sign of use just very occasional minor utensil marks. There is crazing to the pieces which is not discoloured. The gilding is in very good condition (see photos) with just the odd very minimal losses. Plate slightly more creamy colour than other 2 pieces.

Overall very good antique condition with minimal signs of use.

As with all china of this age expect specks and spots of other colours within the glaze from both the manufacturing and decorating processes and tiny indents and raised areas to the surface some of which may be unglazed.

Overall this set is nice and bright in very good condition with little signs of use & would add to any Wileman / Shelley collection. 

Please also check my other listings as I have more Wileman pieces in this pattern currently for sale. 

Payment is required within 3 days of the sale (although earlier payment is appreciated).

I reserve the right to re-list items that remain unpaid for after the 3 day payment period. Where payment is not made an unpaid item case will be opened through ebay.
