The set is comprised of 16 pieces - 1 teapot (with lid), sugar bowl (with lid), creamer, teapot trivet and 5 cups and saucers. The pattern is hand painted by artist MC Merrick and is signed on the creamer and sugar bowl. The pattern features delicate violets with greenery and a rust red coloring.

Everything is trimmed in gilt. The porcelain is thin and delicate. Very rare set to have for any collector.
