ALL PIECES IN THE SET INCLUDING THE COFFEE OR TEAPOT ARE IN THE TUSCAN BOUQUET PATTERN EXCEPT FOR THE TALL COFFEE OR TEACUP PICTURED ON THE LEFT IN THE MAIN LEAD PHOTO WHICH IS ALSO TUSCAN FROM THE SAME PERIOD AND BLENDS PERFECTLY WITH THE SET, HOWEVER IT IS NOT THE EXACT BOUQUET PATTERN, BUT IS SIMILIAR ENOUGH TO BE A BEAUTIFUL COMPONENT OF THE SET. I WANTED TO INCLUDE TWO CUPS AND SAUCERS THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR SERVING COFFEE AND THIS ONE IS IN MINT CONDITION AND BLENDS IN PERFECTLY! SINCE IT WAS FIRST ISSUED BY TUSCAN PLANT BROS.

BOUQUET HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND HIGHLY SAUGHT AFTER OF ALL THE TUSCAN PATTERNS. IT WAS COPIED BY PRETTY MUCH EVERY MAJOR NAME PRODUCING FINE ENGLISH BONE CHINA IN ENGLAND IN THE 1940'S. TUSCAN MERGED WITH WEDGEWOOD IN 1968 AND ONE OF THE VERY FIRST PATTERNS ISSUED UNDER THE NEW NAME (ROYAL TUSCAN A DIVISION OF WEDGEWOOD) WAS A REPRODUCTION OF THE BOUQUET PATTERN ON SCALLOPED OR FLUTTED WHITE BONE CHINA.

HOWEVER, IT IS THE ORIGINAL TUSCAN BOUQUET BONE CHINA THAT MAKES UP 11 OF THE 13 PIECES IN THIS SET, AND IT IS THE ORIGINAL 1940'S TUSCAN BOUQUET CHINA LIKE THIS SET THAT COLLECTOR'S TODAY CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF! THIS PATTERN LOOKS BOTH VINTAGE AND TOTALLY MODERN AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS A CLASSIC TIMELESS PATTERN THAT WILL ALWAYS BE IN DEMAND! THE COFFEE OR TEAPOT; IT IS ACTUALLY A COFFEE POT, BUT IT IS PROPER TO FILL IT WITH HOT WATER TO POUR OVER THE TEABAG IN THE CUP FOR HOT TEA! I ACTUALLY PREFER THIS DESIGN SINCE IT CAN SERVE BOTH COFFEE OR HOT TEA ELEGANTLY! I HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS COLLECTOR OF TUSCAN CHINA FOR OVER 40 YEARS! I'M TOO OLD TO TRAVEL TO NEW YORK NOW, HOWEVER I MISS IT TERRIBLY! THIS SET HAS BEEN A PRIZED PART OF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE TUSCAN CHINA FOR MANY YEARS!

I HAVE KEPT THIS SET IN A GLASS ENCLOSED CHINA CABINET AND IT HAS BEEN EXPERTLY CARED FOR! THIS SET IS NOT ONLY ELEGANT, IT IS SIMPLY TO DIE FOR GORGEOUS! IT IS VERY RARE TO FIND A COFFEE OR TEAPOT IN THIS PATTERN THAT IS AN ORIGINAL AND IN MINT CONDITION, HOWEVER, YOU CAN STILL FIND SOME OF THE PLATES AND CUP AND SAUCER SETS IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS, SO YOU COULD ADD PIECES TO THIS SET OVER TIME! - THIS SET INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: THE COFFEE OR TEAPOT STANDS 8" TALL WITH LID AND IS 8-3/4" WIDE FROM SPOUT TO HANDLE AND IS THE LARGE 4 TO 5 CUP SIZE - OPEN SUGAR BOWL 3-3/4" WIDE X 2-1/4" TALL CREAMER 3-1/4" TALL X 3-1/4" WIDE SPOUT TO HANDLE TWO 8" DIAMETER PLATES - TWO FULL SIZE 3-1/4" RIM DIAMETER AND 3-1/4" TALL COFFEE OR TEACUPS - TWO WIDE 3-3/4" RIM DIAMETER TEACUPS THAT STAND 2-1/4" TALL FOUR FULL SIZE 5-1/2" DIAMETER SAUCERS - COFFEE OR TEAPOT, SUGAR BOWL AND CREAMER, CUPS, SAUCERS, AND PLATES ARE ALL IN VERY FINE CONDITION, NO CHIPS OR CRACKS, NO REPAIRS, THE TEAPOT IS CLEAN, PERFECT, AND READY FOR SERVICE, THE ARTWORK AND GOLD TRIM IS NICE ON ALL ITEMS!

THE CONDITION GRADE FOR ENTIRE SET IS " VERY FINE " - ALL PIECES IN THIS SET HAVE THE USUAL TUSCAN BACKSTAMP - THIS RARE TEASET IS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN VALUE OVER TIME! PLEASE NOTE: ANY FINE BONE CHINA COFFEE OR TEAPOT SHOULD BE TEMPERED BEFORE USING!

YOU CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE ANY FINE BONE CHINA TEA OR COFFEE POT IF YOU DO NOT TEMPER IT BEFORE EACH USE! TEMPERING IS EASY TO DO, SIMPLY FILL THE POT WITH SLIGHTLY WARM WATER AND LET IT SIT FOR A MIN. THEN EMPTY AND REFILL THE POT WITH TAP WATER THAT IS A LITTLE WARMER AND KEEP REPEATING LETTING THE POT SIT FOR A MIN OR SO EACH TIME UNTIL YOU ARE USING WATER THAT IS AS HOT AS YOU CAN GET FROM YOUR TAP.

THIS WILL TEMPER THE POT TO ACCEPT BOILING WATER. IF YOU CANNOT GET VERY HOT WATER FROM YOUR TAP YOU CAN BOIL WATER IN A METAL POT AND COOL IT WITH TAP WATER TO ACHEIVE VERY HOT WATER FOR THE LAST STAGE OF THE PROCESS. NEVER POUR BOILING WATER INTO A COLD OR ROOM TEMPERATURE FINE BONE CHINA COFFEE OR TEAPOT SINCE THE SUDDEN DRASTIC CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE CAN CRACK OR EVEN BREAK FINE BONE CHINA. I EVEN TEMPER MY FINE BONE CHINA TEACUPS BEFORE USING THEM! THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL SELL YOU ANTIQUE, VINTAGE, OR EVEN NEW FINE BONE CHINA, BUT VERY FEW WILL TAKE TIME TO ADVISE YOU ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT!

I CARE A GREAT DEAL FOR THE CHINA THAT I SELL, MOST IS CHINA I HAVE OWNED AND LOVED FOR A GREAT MANY YEARS! I HAVE ENCOUNTERED MOST ANY PROBLEM YOU CAN THINK OF WITH CHINA OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE LEARNED WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT IN IT'S CARE! I FEEL A STRONG RESPONSIBILITY TO SAFEGUARD VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE CHINA FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS; I BELIEVE THAT IT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR SHARED CULTURE AND HERITAGE! I HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS COLLECTOR OF TUSCAN ART DECO AND HAND PAINTED FINE ENGLISH BONE CHINA FOR OVER 40 YEARS.
