Description from the seller
Royal Doulton Booths “Real Old Willow” Tea & Dessert Service with Two-Tier Cake Stand – 11 Pieces – Fine China – England – c.1983
An elegant and highly collectible Royal Doulton Booths “Real Old Willow” fine china tea and dessert service, produced in England circa 1983. Manufactured by Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd. under the prestigious Booths name, this beautiful set represents the continuation of one of England’s most respected pottery traditions.
Decorated in the iconic Real Old Willow pattern (TC1126), the service features the timeless Oriental landscape of pagodas, willow trees, bridges and flying birds, beautifully rendered in rich cobalt blue and enhanced with elegant hand-finished gilt rims. Combining classic English craftsmanship with refined design, this coordinated service is equally suited for display or traditional afternoon tea.
