Superior English Bell China Tea Set - Pattern number 2132 circa 1930 -1936

Superb art deco "English Bell China"Tea Set with blue and black transfer pattern number 2132, manufactured by Shore and Coggins Ltd of Longton, Staffordshire, England and dating from between 1930 and 1936.

Bell China was a pottery mark of a Staffordshire pottery called Shore & Coggins of Longton. They traded from 1911 to 1966. Their other pottery marks included Queen Anne and Princess Anne China. As the dates show, there is a rarity and novelty value to Shore & Coggins wares (apart from having a fantastic sounding English name!). They didn't produce for that long and represent a kind of 'glory days' in UK Staffordshire potting where the market was so strong smaller family run firms could carve out a niche for themselves and hold off the giants.

This TEA SET consists of:

4 cups (8cm W x 7cm H) with 4 saucers (14cm diameter). One saucer has a tiny chip on the underside rim -see image.
