Established in the late 1800s, the Shelley China Co. was known for its beautiful bone china. This small cup and saucer are made in the Heather pattern, which depicts the bucolic English countryside, with a river, bridge, trees and flowering shrubs, and hills in the background. The set is an unusual size – it’s a bit bigger than the “normal” demi-tasse, but smaller than a teacup and saucer. The cup is 2 ¼” tall and measures 2 7/8” at the mouth’s diameter; the saucer is 4 ¾” in diameter. Inside the cup is a smaller countryside scene as well as one on the back side of the cup, and a hint of the scenery on the botton of the saucer. The lip of the cup has a series of scallops trimmed in gold as does the rim of the saucer. The handle of the cup is a soft mint green color; quite unusual! Shelley China went out of business in 1966. The set is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks; there doesn’t appear to be any loss of gold on the trim.

This would be an beautiful addition to your china or cup and saucer collection. Please contact us if you have any questions.
