This fabulous Gaudy Welsh 3 piece breakfast set is the "Wagon Wheel" pattern, circa 1875-1890. The color pallet is exceptional with cobalt blue, russet and copper luster. The set consists of a milk/cream pitcher, round deeper bowl and a round, larger, shallow bowl. The pitcher measures 5 7/8" in height; the deeper bowl measures 5 3/4" across the top and 3" in depth; the shallow bowl measures 7 1/2" across and 1 1/4" in depth. The shallow bowl and pitcher is marked with a number "16, the deeper bowl is unmarked. There are no cracks, chips or repairs; some light overall crazing and several light spots where the glaze was thinner. The color and copper lustre is amazing.
