I received this as a wedding gift 20 years ago and have kept it stored at home without using it. The box shows signs of aging. The green lid is fine, but the white box underneath has some peeling when opened (as shown in photos 14 and 15), but the dishes are in beautiful condition. Made in England, Minton Haddon Hall Cup & Saucer, Discontinued Haddon Hall was designed by John Wadsworth in 1948, inspired by the murals and tapestries of Haddon Hall, an ancient castle in England. This series is one of the most popular cup & saucer sets from Minton. This item is the less common blue color. Although now produced in Indonesia, this item is a discontinued, English-made piece. (In 2015, the parent company Royal Doulton was acquired, and the Minton brand was discontinued. Following withdrawals from department stores and the end of production, the brand has now been discontinued.) The Haddon Hall series was inspired by the "tapestries in Haddon Hall Castle" in England. It is world-famous for its beautiful design woven with over 10 colors. It was released in 1948 and became a bestseller. Minton is a vintage item, and there may be color variations, pinholes, and black spots from the manufacturing process. This is a characteristic of Minton and vintage items. ■Size: Diameter 9.1cm, Height 5.8cm Saucer Diameter 15cm Thank you for viewing.
