Vintage Spode England Fine Bone China Christmas Rose Teacup with Saucer

Vintage Spode England Bone China Christmas Rose Flat Bottom Teacup with Saucer Holiday Set. So beautiful!! Both pieces are in great condition, but the flat bottom teacup does have a tiny nick on the rim. It is not noticeable unless you lightly graze your fingernail along the rim. I zoomed in on a pic to show what it looks like, but the pic makes it look much, much more harsh than it actually is. Below is some history on this pattern... The Christmas Rose is the common name for a Helleborus Niger, a much loved garden plant which produces a pure white flower that blooms for the Christmas season in England. Spode first produced the Christmas Rose pattern in 1890 on a special plum pudding dish. Despite influences from countries as disparate as China, India and Japan, this ever-popular design exudes a very unmistakable "Englishness." The pieces in the collection are made from snowy white bone china, with thin rim borders of red-orange trimmed with 22-carat gold. Each piece is wreathed with illustrative borders of white Christmas roses entwined with holly and mistletoe. Beneath the wreath-like borders are smaller garlands of holly and mistletoe. This pattern IS NOT safe for use in the microwave, oven, or freezer. Spode Christmas Rose was produced from 1991 to 2015.
