This stunning pair
of Copeland Spode coffee cups and saucers are decorated in the Two Temples II
(aka Broseley) design – the Copeland factory marks indicate they are Victorian
pieces made in 1881
The cups are
2.2” (5.5cm) high with 2.2” (5.5cm) diameter rims and the saucers are 4” (10cm)
diameter
As you will see
from the pictures, like many pieces from this period there are a number of minor
faults with the decoration, but there is very little wear to the gilding and
only a few little surface cutlery marks on the saucers
Both cups and
one of the saucers are in excellent undamaged condition with no chips, cracks
or crazing – the second saucer does have some hairline cracking on the back but
it is invisible on the front
It is very
difficult to find early pieces in this popular design in such good condition,
so this is an extremely rare opportunity to add some nice pieces to your
collection
