A Shelley cup and saucer from England. This is a Shelley's most popular lily of the valley pattern, in the Dainty (DINTY) shape. It is characterized by its flower shape when viewed from above. Perfect for those who collect lily of the valley, Shelley, or those who love antiques, vintage items, and brocante items (^^) In France, there is a custom of giving lily of the valley to loved ones and those who have helped you on May 1st, and it is said that good luck will come to those who receive it. Lily of the valley is called "muguet" in French, hence the name "Muguet Day." Condition of the item: No cracks, chips, or crazing, and it is glossy with a beautiful pattern. Also, as it is vintage, there may be other overlooked imperfections. I myself have not used it. As it is a vintage item, there may be small black spots, paint loss, and minor imperfections from the time of manufacture. Please understand that this is a vintage item that has been loved for a long time. Shelley Hammersley Melba Adderley Coalport Paragon Spode
