Chintz & Floral Teacups

Vintage Regency Teacup & Saucer – White Lily & Pink Bud Floral, Gold Rim, English Bone China, Made in England 1960s

Available

A fresh little Regency bone-china teacup and saucer — white lily-like flowers with yellow centres and soft pink buds, set among slim green leaves, with a gold line around the rim. A clean, cheerful pattern that mixes easily into a mismatched afternoon-tea shelf.

The flowers are set against the plain white bone china so the colour reads brightly: open white blooms, pink pointed buds, green foliage, and a simple gilt edge finishing cup and saucer. It is an everyday-pretty English teacup rather than a rare cabinet piece — the kind that makes a tea table feel gathered-over-time.

The base carries the blue Regency / English Bone China / Made in England mark with the little Regency-beau silhouette. Regency China of Longton made a great deal of the pretty floral teaware that came out of Staffordshire in the mid-twentieth century; this one dates from around the 1960s–70s.

A cup-and-saucer for the mismatched-teacup collector, the afternoon-tea or tea-party table, the cottagecore shelf, or as an easy gift for someone who takes their tea properly.
