Step back into the elegance of postwar England — an era when teatime was not simply a ritual but a return to beauty, refinement, and peace. This vintage Coalport teacup and saucer carries that sentiment in every detail, from the romantic cranberry florals that dance across its surface to the graceful gold trim that catches the light like quiet afternoon sun.
Crafted by Coalport, one of England’s most esteemed porcelain houses, this set reflects the artistry that made their name synonymous with fine bone china since the 18th century. The A.D. 1750 crown backstamp dates this piece to the late 1940s–1950s, a time when Coalport revived classical Rococo influences with soft curves, ornate handles, and vivid transfer florals.
The cranberry rose motif — lush and full of old-world charm — is delicately accented with hand-applied gold gilt along the rims and the uniquely pierced handle, creating an irresistible combination of grace and craftsmanship.
Whether gracing a collector’s cabinet, accompanying an afternoon of poetry and tea, or given as a keepsake to a romantic at heart, this Coalport beauty is a testament to timeless English refinement.
