Vintage Coalport Sandringham Teacup and Saucer – Peach or Turquoise Blue, Hand Painted Floral, Heavy Gold Scrollwork, Scalloped, England

Two colourways, one design — choose Peach or Turquoise Blue. Each is sold individually as a teacup and saucer set.

The same cascading gold scrollwork covers both, the same hand-painted flower spray hides inside each cup, the same scalloped rim catches light along every gilded crest. Only the ground colour changes — warm salmon-pink or vivid sky-blue — and the choice is entirely yours.

The rococo gilt scrollwork is the centrepiece. Dense, hand-applied gold — C-scrolls, acanthus leaves, trailing foliage — pours from the rim downward, filling the space between the coloured panels and the white porcelain with an intricate gold lattice. The gilding is thick enough to feel under your fingertip, heavy enough to catch and hold light from every angle. This is not stamped or transferred — it is painted gold, applied by a decorator working freehand across a curved surface.

The Peach version glows with a warm salmon-pink ground that softens the gold into something honeyed and intimate — all warmth and candlelight. The Turquoise Blue sets the same gold against a vivid bleu celeste — the sky-blue first made famous by the Sèvres porcelain factory in eighteenth-century France and adopted by England's finest houses as a mark of the highest-quality production.

Turn either cup and look inside: a hand-painted floral spray sits at the bottom — roses, wildflowers, and foliage in pink, red, purple, and green, each petal brushed with visible gradations of colour. The saucers carry the same surprise at their centres — larger sprays with the same fine brushwork, surrounded by the same radiating gold scrollwork that frames the rest of the design.

Made by Coalport — one of England's oldest porcelain houses, founded in 1795 — in their Sandringham shape (pattern 9231). Coalport has since ceased production, and pieces with this density of hand-applied gilt work represent a level of craftsmanship no longer commercially produced anywhere.
