VINTAGE 1948 - 1963 LOT/SET OF SIX FINE PORCELAIN FOLEY BONE CHINA (E.Brain & Co Ltd) DEMITASSE DUOS - MONTROSE PATTERN
THE MONTROSE PATTERN WAS RELEASED BY FOLEY BONE CHINA IN BLUE, RED AND GREEN AND WAS DISCONTINUED IN THE 1960's. THE PATTERN PROVED TO BE A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL AND COLLECTABLE ONE ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE DUE TO ITS BEAUTY, DETAILING AND INTRICATE LEANING TOWARDS ORIENTAL PORCELAIN STYLES. THIS AWESOME SET/LOT CONSISTS OF SIX COMPLETE FINE PORCELAIN DEMITASSE DUOS WITH ALL 12 ITEMS DECORATED IN THE RED VERSION OF THE GRAND MONTROSE PATTERN.
THE PATTERN IS OFTEN CONSIDERED ART NOUVEAU ALTHOUGH IT DOES TEND TO BE MORE BAROQUE IN STYLE. BOUQUETS OF BRIGHT COLORFUL FLOWERS TOGETHER WITH CARAMEL FLORAL SCROLL DESIGN AND GOLDEN PHEASANTS ARE DISPLAYED TOGETHER WITH ANTIQUE BURGUNDY . EACH ITEM IS ALSO BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED WITH GOLD TRIM
