Rose on a Spray of Blue Flowers ~Porcelain Set~Fit for a Bed and Breakfast

Porcelain Cup with Gold Edging and Rose Floral
Recently, I traveled to Ireland and had the good fortune to stay in two mansions built in the 1700's. I loved the way the hosts mixed and matched china for breakfast each morning. This set would be perfect to draw upon for a bed and breakfast or a garden party, mixing with other treasured finds or used alone!

This cup is one of the 45 piece set which includes 8 cups, 8 saucers, 8 salad plates, 8 dinner plates, 8 soup/salad bowls, 1 serving bowl, 1 serving oval platter and a cream/sugar with lid. The set appears to be unused. No chips or cracks are found. One bowl has 2 or 3 black specks from the production stage. Very minor flaw! Each piece is hallmarked, "Made in China C. Art HK," with additional Oriental writing. Each piece has a fine line of gilding along the edge.
Platter 13.75 x 10 inches

Generous Sugar 3.5"tall with lid and Creamer 3.125 " tall

Generous Sugar 4" diameter with lid and Creamer 2.625 " diameter

Coming soon to Woolbright's River City Antique Mall. Asking price for the set will be $45. For a pre sale, please text Foxdenfindings at 1.630.927.7250.

Just listed in my eBay Store until I am able to move them into our mall space. I will leave the listing up until it runs out. If they are still available, then I will bring them to Woolbright's.

Steamer Immigrant Trunk in Tin and Oak

This steamer trunk has a solid construction. The wood is wrapped on the outside in tine and then reinforced with Oak strips and decorative metal. It has a domed "camel" top.




Steamer Trunk in Oak and Tin
At one time there were leather handles on either side. Now missing.
Decorative Metal on Steamer Trunk
The latches on either side are in good shape as are the hinges.
Steamer Trunk Original Lock
 The original lock is all there and probably would work if a key could be located!

Top View of Steamer Trunk
 The trunk has been washed in wood soap to remove "musty" smell common to these old trunks. It has been aired in fresh air and sunshine.

Inside Steamer Trunk
 The lid is supported with a hinge on the right side. Paper lines the trunk and may be original to the trunk. The lid has a picture pasted in which I do not believe to be original. I have left everything as I found it. The new owner can make decisions about what needs to be refinished or left alone.
Steamer Trunk Front View Lid Raised
There may have been a divider between the lid and the lower section to store items in the two small upper divided sections of the lid.
