The tea set is a vintage Royal Vale bone china tea set in the "Country Cottage" or "Cottage Gardens" pattern. This style of tableware, manufactured by Ridgway Potteries in England, typically dates back to the 1960s.
The items are made from fine bone china, known for its delicate appearance, lightness, and glossy finish. Each piece features a charming, multi-coloured scene of a traditional English thatched-roof cottage nestled within a vibrant garden of flowers and greenery.
The rims of the cups, saucers, plates, and creamer jug are accented with fine gold gilding. The collection shown includes 4 tea cups, 4 saucers, 4 side plates, a creamer jug, and a sugar bowl, as well as a large biscuit plate. The pattern is also identified by the number 7382.
The set is in very good vintage condition.
