A fabulous Egg Cup Set, in Royal Doulton's 'Norfolk' pattern. There are four egg cups and a matching plate. All are in lovely condition, with no cracks or chips; just some minor age-related crazing. The blue colour is still clear and vibrant, too.
A really rare and elegant set, which was made in the 1930s. The stamp on the plate suggest 1931.
The plate and three cups are marked with the registration numbers 251612 and 597783. One cup shows D6294 and is slightly lighter weight, suggesting it may have been a later replacement.
We also have a matching plate, here.

"Have nothing in your houses you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful"
William Morris
At Know to be Beautiful, we believe that offers beautiful things warm the heart and make a house a home. And the world is full of beautiful things!
Over the decades artists and craftsmen have used our limited natural resources to make wonderful items. Once something has been loved and used it often makes it more beautiful, so, rather than always making new things, we like finding a new home for something that has already been made.
We aim for elegant packaging, to make classy gifts, but we try not to go over the top with plush boxes that are too good to throw away, but of no actual use!
