Aynsley Cup & Saucer Hand Painted Cream Corset Floral Gold Green Trim 1934-1939

John Aynsley established his pottery in Longton, England in 1775 using local Staffordshire clay and elaborate designs. The company prospered, but his grandson, John Aynsley II, changed the focus of the business from pottery to fine bone china by adding 50% calcined bone ash to his porcelain compound. This produced a fine bone china that was exceptionally white, extremely strong and translucent. In 1861, he opened the Portland Works in Stoke-on-Trent to produce the many unique Aynsley designs that were becoming exceedingly popular. Queen Victoria commissioned Aynsley China to produce a full service for her personal use.

This allowed the company to use the royal family seal in its logo, therefore, affirming the company's reputation. The company remained in the ownership of the Aynsley family until becoming a publically listed company in 1948, still under the leadership of the Aynsley family. In 1970, the company was taken over by Waterford and by 1997 it became a part of the Belleek Pottery Group. Is still known for craftsmanship and fine production techniques.

This superb quality china has color that is bright and vivid on the cream (pale yellow) background. This is painted on a blank of fine bone china with gold trim on the edges and an unusual deep, bold green trim line around the top of the cup and the outer edge of the saucer. The cup and saucer are tied together by the use of the same hand painted watercolor floral sprays outlined in gold on the solid cream background. The saucer has a diameter of 5 1/2" & its height is 7/8". While this saucer is classified as used, we can find no utensil wear or rubbing. There appears to be absolutely no wear to the vivid color and no crazing. There are no chips, nicks, or repairs to this stunning saucer. There is no wear to the gold on the saucer. The stand was used as a photo prop and is not included in this listing. The cup which has a diameter of 3 7/16" and a height of 2 5/8" is equally as beautiful and pings delightfully when tapped. As collectors ourselves, we tend to be very picky and find it necessary to point out anything we see. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
