An antique trio from around 1888, made by the British company Wileman (pre-Shelley), featuring the Dolly Varden pattern in the Alexandra shape. Approximately 136 years old, it is in excellent condition with a beautiful luster. The pink color of the Dolly Varden pattern is rare and hard to find. If you're looking for one, how about this opportunity? The pattern is a complex combination of wildflowers, arabesques, and other designs. The oriental feel may be due to the influence of Chinoiserie Modern. The body undulates in a pleated shape, and when viewed from above, it resembles a four-leaf clover. The gold trim adds a華やか and luxurious touch. The condition is excellent with a beautiful luster. In terms of size, it's slightly larger than the cups offered in a trio. It would also make a wonderful marriage if combined with a trio. There is some natural fading of the gold trim due to friction on the gold scallop (photo 8), but considering it's 136 years old, it's a natural occurrence and adds to the antique charm. There are slight air bubbles and black spots on the inside bottom. Please consider this item if you understand the characteristics of its manufacturing. In addition, there may be vintage-specific imperfections such as glaze bubbles, dents in the fabric, color unevenness, printing misalignment, ink transfer, and paint loss. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for the quality standards of modern Japan or if you are overly sensitive. Wileman's successor, Shelley, closed in 1966, making this a rare item that only exists in its current form. Please refrain from offering discounts except for combined shipping. I will not respond to discount offers. Thank you for your understanding. ■Size (slight errors are acceptable) Diameter: 9.7cm (maximum value) Height: 5.5cm ◼️Registration Number 92158 Paragon Paragon Aynsley Hammersley Antique Flea market Clignancourt Brocan Shelley Shelley Foley Foley
