The transfer includes a circle with “Miss May” walking down a... path in the center. .She carries something , some say eggs, which would make sense in her apron. Surrounded by a circle pattern of flowers and leaves.
This set really stands alone, As it visibly demonstrates being gingerly cared for over time. I have never seen one in such good shape.
An Historic memory of the tea parties a childhood tradition which has respectfully stood the test of time.
*As seen in
Playtime Pottery & Porcelain from United Kingdom and United States by: Lorraine Punchard Appraisal according to book at that time set at 300.00-500.00 (1996) and this is the best I’ve seen.
The finial on top of sugar bowl appears shaved in half although it causes no apparent overall eyesore and is firmly intact. Not sure if this is a flaw due to damage of manufacture. Small crazing seen on lid and creamer. It is hard to see unless magnified. I notice no other flaws or damage.
