Description from the seller
British Anchor dinner service – "Country Cottage" pattern in English earthenware
A charming 6-person dinner service produced by the historic British Anchor manufactory, distinguished by the famous Country Cottage decoration, one of the most beloved motifs in English ceramic tradition.
The set is made of fine glazed earthenware and features a picturesque English countryside scene, with a characteristic stone cottage surrounded by trees, flowering gardens and nature-filled paths. The scene, rich in detail, is rendered with a refined etched line in shades of gray and enriched by delicate touches of green, blue, yellow, red and pink, which give depth and liveliness to the composition.
The aesthetics recall the landscape engravings of the 18th and 19th centuries, reinterpreted in the tradition of the Staffordshire Potteries, making each piece elegant and full of charm.
The set consists of 6 flat plates with a diameter of 25.5 cm.
Excellent overall condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
