A rare antique Minton trio. The design was made between 1845 and 1992, but the pattern is not often seen on websites. Checking the backstamp, "ENGLAND" was printed under the globe from 1891, and "made in ENGLAND" was printed from 1902. From the above, the saucer and plate seem to be slightly older than the cup. I purchased this from an overseas seller on another site. The design of this work is transfer-printed, but the coloring is hand-painted by artisans. It is a trio that strongly reflects the British taste for Chinoiserie. Cup: Diameter approx. 8.8cm, Height approx. 6.2cm Saucer: Diameter approx. 14.5cm Plate: Diameter approx. 16cm There are no cracks, chips, or crazing. When you decide to part with it in the future, it's better to have the trio (with a cake plate). I hope someone will like it. #Minton #Cup & Saucer & Plate #Katsuko
