This elegant mid-century Royal Standard England set features a rare mix of espresso cups and standard teacups, each adorned with hand-painted green leaves, dotted gilt detailing, and brushed gold trim. This Pattern 418 design was produced in England between 1949 and 1966 and reflects the fine artistry Royal Standard was known for — delicate bone china, rich colorwork, and hand-applied gold edging. It has very elegant and attractive large green leaves with gold stems and gold accent dots.
