This 120 piece dinner set contains everything from tiny demi-tasse cups and saucers to all plate and bowl sizes, serving sets, gravy boats and more. Old Rose is a truly beautiful example of this type of hand-painting.
A note we received with these stunning vases reads:' "Famille Rose" style of enamels w/rose pink dominant characterized by elegance of shape, softer colouring and feminine refinement.
Coats of arms were made to order by the Chinese in 'hard paste porcelain before that technique was perfected in england in around 1781 (New Hall was 1st. to discover the formula). '
Lack of a 'reasonable' hall mark is puzzling. Very indistinct mark is impossible to photograph and seems primitive and child-like in execution - but is dentical on both vases. Could be a reporoduction?
i've had one person tell me it was worth $300-$600. i haven't found it anywhere and my grandparents are wanting to sell it if it's worth that much. it has some rips and yellow discoloration. the calendar part is in the worst shape, but i've been told if someone bought this it would be for the picture not the calendar part. which the calendar is missing the months of january and february.
