This exquisite antique tea cup and saucer set is an early, unmarked production by the prestigious Spode (Josiah Spode II) factory, crafted in England right around 1800 to 1805 . This set perfectly demonstrates Spode's newly perfected, warm bone china formula, heavily decorated with rich hand-gilding and beautiful botanical painting. Condition Report Condition: Excellent antique condition. There is a tiny bit of minor wear to the rim of the cup, but the spectacular, heavy gold gilding remains an impressive 99% intact . No cracks, chips (outside of the minor rim wear), or major flaws. A truly exceptional survivor for its 220+ years of age. Design & Artistry This stunning set is heavily decorated by hand with masterful attention to geometric and natural motifs: Hand-Gilded Patterns: The intricate gold work forms structured diamonds around the exterior of the cup and builds a dramatic starburst pattern around the well of the saucer. Delicate Ivy Leaves: Tiny, hand-painted gold ivy leaves meticulously fill the geometric segments. Vibrant Florals: Classic hand-painted pink Spode roses nestled in green foliage fill the contrasting diamonds and open panels. Signature Profile: Features Spode's iconic smooth "common loop" handle with a beautifully clean white porcelain body.  #C679a Dimensions & Specifications Manufacturer Spode (Josiah Spode II) Origin England (Staffordshire) Era Georgian (Circa 1800 - 1805) Markings Unmarked (Standard for early Spode London-market wares) Saucer Size 5 1/2" (5.5 inches) Diameter Cup Size 2 3/8" Tall x 3 1/8" Diameter Condition: Used.
