This is a very rare Doris shaped Royal Albert Crown China teacup and saucer-manufactured only for a short time between the 1920s and 1930s. The pattern is “Lovebirds”, and is a beauty-with a crisp white background with hand painted red and black detailing, including red love birds on a branch.
Very good vintage condition as described. The saucer pings nicely. The teacup does not ring as true-I looked very, very closely under a bright magnifier and just see a bit of very fine crazing in some spots. Please examine the items with the zoom lens feature and ask for more photos if concerned. Please note: the items I sell in my shop are either vintage (20+ years old) or antique (100+ years old). I endeavour to purchase items that are in very good to excellent condition-however, if the item has a flaw such as a crack or a repair-at times, I will purchase it for my shop if it is rare or very unusual. I will point out any obvious flaws-however it is up to the buyer to examine the photos closely and carefully and to ask any questions if they are concerned about the appearance/description of the item. The photos are a big part of the description. Please do not look for perfection :) It is very hard to find in items of this age. Some common small flaws are buy firing blisters, errant paint or other specks, occasional crazing (major crazing will be described but it's possible to miss a small amount of faint crazing-I do not examine items under a microscope :) Thanks again for shopping PrettyPinkAddiction!
