Vintage Crown Dorset Bone China Pansy Floral Teapot Sugar Bowl Creamer Tea Set

Vintage bone china pansy floral tea set. Pretty purple pansy floral pattern on a white base with gilt trim.

Unusually, this set has three different makers marks on the base: Crown Dorset, Allyn Nelson, and Royal Patrician. The explanation for this is decal companies would typically sell the same pattern to multiple English china makers. Presumably the original owner of the set tracked down matching patterned items to create a matching look set. Other than looking at the base its impossible to tell they don't belong together. No cracks, chips or crazing noted on pieces except for one chip on the bottom curve of the teapot.

I have included a close up to show this - as it is on the underside of the curve, it is only visible when the teapot is upside down. Teapot: 9 1/2" x 7" x 6. Creamer: 3 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 2 3/4. Sugar bowl: 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" x 1 3/4.
