"Chintz" (?) Teacups and Saucers

By teagranny, 10 January, 2010
Description

The handles are black and saucer is trimmed in black. The cups and saucers are flower patterned in what I believe is called a chintz pattern. I inherited them in 1987 after my great aunt's death. She probably received them as a wedding gift, or else she inherited them from another relative. There is some paint wearing on the handles. There are very fine cracks in the glazing, especially on one of the cups, and a small chip on the edge of a cup, but other than that, there are no other cracks or damage in the pieces, themselves, and they are in good condition. There are pink roses and small purple flowers in the pattern.
