I was given this four piece tea set last week by a friend
who had been clearing out her mother's house.
It is vintage Leonard Street pottery - hadn't heard of it
before - has anyone?
Beautiful gold pattern which is really bright. Looks good with my other vintage green and gold cups and
saucers which are Imperial Crown China and Grosvenor.
Seems like I've got a bit of a collection going on here!
Love, Liz

Lovely little set Liz ... I haven't heard of Leonard St, but have heard of Burslem Pottery, where it's made.
Lovely present xxx
What a lovely gift, you are lucky. I just love that shade of pale turquoise.
So pretty! I adore that pale shade of green!

Always good to start a collection - gives you good reason to go out and look for more! M x
They're super Liz :o)
Have just been having a look for the manufacturer...it says
"The Leonard Street Pottery wins the prize as the most obscure china manufacturer in the whole of Stoke on Trent, even perhaps all of England."
And that's from an expert!

Not familiar with the maker, the design around the china is very elegant. Wonderful friend who gifted this to you.
How special that your friend gave you something of your Mothers. Things like that make you really appreciate the act of kindness.
Love your fall header!
They're gorgeous Liz, very elegant and I love that pale minty green very much. They look like they'd be lovely to drink out of too.
What a pretty set - the green really sets off the gold just nicely.
Beautiful, I love it! It's hard to find really gorgeous china like that, how wonderful is that delicate gold design against the duck egg green!
Lucky Liz!

What a lovely set, and in some of my favourite colours. I have never heard of the make but it reminds me of a decorated scene plate I have, will have to see what make that is. x
