Castleton China CELESTA Cup and Saucer Set Mid Century Mod Gold Pattern MCM 1968

Description: This is a cup and saucer from Castleton China in the CELESTA pattern. This Castleton pattern features a band of geometric shapes in gold across white. The gold shapes are stereotypical Mid-Century Modern in style: an elongated oval and a line that is flared out at both ends. There is probably a slick name for that shape! At any rate, you very often see it paired with elongated ovals in Mid Century design. Castleton only made CELESTA from 1968-1970, which might be why you don't see this one very often in the wild. Their Laurel pattern is quite easy to dig pieces up in but CELESTA is pretty special for those of us who love the modern styling! Saucer is 5 3/4" in diameter, cup is 3" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter. Condition is very good. Very little wear to gold accents. I got out magnifying glass and could see some areas of wear but under normal viewing conditions, the piece looks great. Typical areas of concern on teacups are the rim and the handle, and these areas look very, very good on this piece! No cracks, no chips, no signs of repair. A lovely piece ready to complete your Castleton CELESTA or make your retro inspired dining table super cool. I also have a creamer, some dinner plates, and a bread plate in this pattern. Just ask if you want to bundle. How I Assess Vintage Pieces My listings are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the listing, with both photos and descriptions. This means you know what you are getting from me. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminishment in shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item. Problems: In the event of a problem, please contact me asap. I want you to be happy with your purchase! Returns: Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase. Buyer pays return postage. No refund will be given if item arrives broken or damaged, so please pack returns very carefully. Feedback I leave feedback within a week after your item is received. If you are considering leaving neutral or negative feedback, please contact me first! I appreciate the chance to make things right. If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items? WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help! Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their lives, bodies, education, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
