Laura Ashley Chintzware- absolutely gorgeous HTF collection! Many pieces never used. 26 pieces from a Private Estate Collection-Set includes:Teapot with Lid8 cups (2 1/2")8 saucers (5 3/4")8 dessert plates (bread and butter 6 3/4" plates) This is such a beautiful set. It belonged to my mom and was kept in storage, stacked between napkins, wrapped in plastic deemed "too special to use". I've never seen a collection this large and contemplated separating it, but ultimately deci...ded to sell it as one set. Many of the pieces have never been used and some still have the tag on the back. The ones that were used, were likely only used once or twice and hand washed. They are beautiful! The blue is bright and finish is shiny. The set was received as a gifts from the UK. They are in near perfect condition, there are no cracks or chips or crazing on any of the visible chintz surface. I am not familiar with chintzware, but there are a few "imperfections" that perhaps are normal/typical of this brand, but I don't know. I will describe as best I can. Please see photos for details.One of the bread and butter plates has some crazing on the flat white surface of the underside.One of the bread and butter plates has what looks like a "cut" on the underside edge. It looks like it was baked that way. There is also a fleck of blue paint near this area.One of the cups has a few tiny blue flecks of paint insideTwo of the cups have very slight cracks in the glazing on the underside where the brand stamp appears. Several of the plates have little bumps and/or unglazed divots on the non chintz underside. (see last photo for example) If you have any questions or need additional photos, please do not hesitate to ask. This is an absolutely stunning pattern! I wish I could keep it, but I know that it will just sit unused in my cabinet as it has for so many years. As time passes, this collection is becoming increasingly difficult to find! Don't miss this chance to grab this beautiful, substantial collection! Great gift for the holidays or for the collector! Thanks for Looking! Please email if you have any questions.
