Vintage Ellgreave Heatmaster Pearlescent Lusterware Teapot and Cups

This amazing Mid-Century lusterware set contains an opalescent Ellgreave Teapot produced by Wood & Sons and two matching cups. The set has a beautiful pearlized iridescent finish with 22 karat gold accents on the handles, rims, knob and spout. The teapot is marked "Genuine Heatmaster England" on the bottom with "Ellgreave" and "England" embossed as well. The cups, although having an identical finish and appearance to the teapot, have a Crown with the letter "D" and the word "Czechoslovakia" stamped on the bottom. This stamp is most likely the mark of Ditmar-Urbach company, which was a well-known ceramics manufacturer operating in what was then Czechoslovakia. The marking of a crown with a "D" underneath it was used by Ditmar-Urbach, particularly during the interwar period (1918-1938). The cups are in very good vintage condition (no chips or cracks). The teapot has chips out of the inner ring. The chips are not visible when the lid is on the teapot (please see pictures).
