Victorian cup and saucer - strong geometric design, buttery yellow interior slip with gilding curious cup and saucer, with no makers mark but the diamond style british mark that I've evaluated and using the info at oldandsold.com, I'm able to date this to 1876, which I find odd given the simple, geometric style of this set. I have another cup/saucer in the exact same style that is a pale blue, and I'll have to check the date but they are very close to this set. The pair are in excellent condition, no chips or cracks whatsover, in a very lovely translucent china. There is a slight bit of rubbing of the gilding on the exterior edge of the handle (not shown), but rim gilding is excellent. Here are some photos:
The buffet was recently destroyed by a water leak from my upstairs neighbor. I'm now trying to determine what the value of the buffet would have been in excellent condition. Can anyone tell me what make/model this set is, it's previous value, and are they worth more as a set than they are individually. There is also a table and chairs that are Bernhardt but I don't believe they match.
