Antique Court China Tea Set William Lowe c.19281930 Hand Painted Imari Style 20 Piece Made in England

A very early Court China tea set made by William Lowe Ltd, dating to circa 19281930. This richly hand-painted set features a Royal Imari-inspired design in deep cobalt blue, burnt orange, and gold typical of the elegant craftsmanship of the late Edwardian and early interwar era.

Set Includes

2 x square serving plates (21.5 cm)
6 x dessert / cake plates (17.5 cm)
8 x coupe saucers (14 cm)
2 x teacups
1 x milk jug
1 x sugar bowl

Total: 20 pieces

Features

Backstamp: Court China WL L Made in England, used c.19281930
Produced by William Lowe Ltd, Sydney Works, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent
Traditional Imari palette cobalt blue, orange, and 22K gold hand-painted detail
Fine earthenware / early china body
Distinctive square serving plates with scalloped edges

Condition

This set shows its great age with visible wear and age marks throughout
Discoloration and staining on several pieces
Fine overall grazing to glaze surfaces
Hairline cracks on the reverse of some plates
Milk jug is also discolored inside
Despite these flaws, the set displays beautifully and retains its hand-painted gold brilliance and charm of a near-century-old piece.

Historical Note

The Court China mark belongs to William Lowe Ltd, a respected Staffordshire pottery active from the late 1800s to around 1930. Originally established at the St. Gregorys Works, the company later expanded to the Sydney Works, Longton, where this set was produced.
After Lowes passing in 1898, the business continued under his name until it was taken over by Thomas C. Wild & Sons (the Paragon and Royal Albert group) around 1918.
Pieces with this Court China WL mark are scarce and highly collectible, representing the final years of the Lowe factory before closure.

Perfect For

Collectors of true antique Staffordshire china, display cabinets, or those who appreciate the grandeur of early English hand-painted Imari ware.
