c 1830 - 1850 Gaudy Mulberry Floral Staffordshire Childrens partial teaset

Description: This beautiful and very rare children's tea set from Staffordshire England was made by I believe Minton. The shaping of the mold is identical to pages 62 and 63 in Lorraine Punchard's book "Playtime Pottery & Porcelain" .The set has a transfer print of deep mulberry then a pearlware glaze was applied giving it a bluish tint. The set was then carefully hand painted in colors of orange, pink, yellow, blue , red, green with a gold lustre applied on the edges. The decoration has a Gaudy look to it with the floral and leaf with vine type embellishments. This must surely have been an expensive set back then. This partial teaset is perfect for collectors of Gaudy or Mulberry childrens tea sets who are looking for a unique and rare item to add to their collection. The pieces have an impressed 7 ? with a decorators number in red on the bottoms. Only some slight wear to the painted decoration. There is some losses to the gilt rims.
