Aynsley Orchard Fruit Tea Cup & Cake Plate Trio Signed D Jones Green

Rich forest green, colorful orchard fruit, and gleaming gilt make this Aynsley tea trio a memorable addition to an English china collection. The set includes a graceful footed teacup, matching saucer, and cake plate, decorated with peaches, plums, and berries in beautifully saturated colors. The deep green ground gives the fruit a wonderful richness, while the gold handle and gilded edges lend each piece an elegant finish.

Signed by D. Jones, this trio is made for afternoon tea served with a little ceremony. Her signed pieces are exceptional, and collectors are always on the search. Picture it on white linen beside a silver tea service, ready for a favorite pot of tea and something sweet. It is equally appealing displayed in your china cabinet, where its deep green color adds a handsome note among floral porcelain and other English tea pieces. Brought over from England, these three are so gorgeous-the orchard fruit with green exterior and saucer are rare to find. This pattern has been discontinued, thus very sought after.

• Measures: Plate-6-3/8"; Cup-3-7/8" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/2"h; saucer-5-5/8".
