Vintage Coalport Athlone Blue Set of 4 Flared top (Adelaide?) Cups & Saucers c.1970-1990

This set of 4 cups and saucers features classic mid-20th-century European design, characterized by deep cobalt blue glazes and opulent gold-gilt rims.

Such tea sets were hallmark products of renowned English and Bavarian porcelain houses, valued for their sophisticated aesthetic and delicate craftsmanship. The vibrant blue contrast against the white bone china and gold detailing makes this a quintessential example of luxury table settings from the post-war era.

The open shape, footed cups with their gently scalloped rims are 2¼” deep with a top rim diameter of 4”.  I think the cup shape is called Adelaide.

The matching saucers are 5¾” diameter

Condition:  Each piece is in perfect, undamaged and unmarked condition.  All pattern and gilding is bright.  Any shadows or white specs in the photographs are simply reflection of tricks of the light.  These is a truly magnificent set of cups and saucers that would add elegance to any tea table or china cabinet.

When wrapped and packed, these 4 cups and saucers will more than likely weigh over Royal Mail's 2 Kg price range.   Hence higher postage charge.  Should they weigh under this, I will refund any overcharge.
