89-PIECES OF BEAUTIFUL ENGLISH CROWN DUCAL "GLORIA" PAT FINE CHINA - CIRCA 1930

$ 990

Availability: 100 in stock
  • Condition: The set is about 85 years old and in unused condition. Naturally, there are some factory soot specks embedded in some of the pieces and normal overall crazing on all of the pieces (back then, they didn't fire the glaze at high enough temperatures to prevent crazing). Two of the dinner plates have a small shallow chip on the underside of the edge - you can't see them unless you turn the plate over and they certainly don't hinder their use. The Square vegetable bowl has some minor (light) stains on the inside (see photo 9 - use eBay's zoom feature to inspect the photo). None of the rest of the pieces have any chips, cracks or staining!

    Description

    WELCOME!
    I selling an 89-Piece Set of Beautiful,
    Antique
    Crown Ducal English
    "Gloria" Pattern
    china in Unused Condition.  The Rd. number on the back of the pieces indicates that it was made in about 1930.
    Description:
    The base color of the china varies slightly from a medium mustard to a light mustard color (this is evident on my photos).  The shapes of the pieces are very interesting and eye catching - some are hexagonal and some are square with clipped corners (see photos).  The borders of the pieces have a wonderful raised floral, embossed pattern that sets off the colorful "Bouquet" of flowers in the center.  There is a raised ridge around the outside of the rim.
    History:
    I purchased the set at a wealthy Private Estate Sale in Eau Claire, Wisconsin many years ago - everything there was antique!  A Grand Daughter was conducting the sale and gave me the following information:  Her Grand Mother received the set as a wedding gift about 1932.  Grandma said that the set was to beautiful to use, so she put it in her china closet for decoration.  It sat there for many years until she moved and then it was carefully packed and stored away and forgotten.  The family didn't find it again until Grandma died and they were getting ready for the sale.  It was actually a set for twelve, but some of the pieces were broken during the yearly cleaning sessions.
    If you're looking for a set of unique Antique china to use on special occasions - you can be sure that your neighbor won't have this pattern!
