Vintage Colclough Ivy Pattern Bone China Tea Set, English Afternoon Tea Service, Cups Saucers Plates Bowls Jug Sugar Bowl, c.1960s 45 pieces

This charming vintage Colclough bone china tea set, made in England in the 1960s, features the much-loved Ivy pattern with trailing green leaves and subtle gold gilt rims. Colclough, established in 1890 by Herbert Colclough, was renowned for producing fine quality yet affordable bone china, beloved for its delicate designs and popularity in British homes and tearooms throughout the mid-20th century. This partial service includes teacups with matching saucers, side plates, dessert bowls, a milk jug, and sugar bowl, all decorated with vivid ivy leaves on crisp white bone china.

The set is perfect for afternoon tea, special gatherings, or as an elegant display in a vintage kitchen or china cabinet. The pieces are in good vintage condition with light wear to the gilt in places, consistent with gentle use over time, and other signs of wear commensurate with age - no chips or cracks, some crazing.

A collectible and timeless pattern, ideal for Colclough enthusiasts or those seeking classic English tea service style. Perfect as additions to another same set, or the beginnings of a set - could be mixed and matched with other similar vintage ware too.

There are no chips or cracks and the patterns are vibrant. There is wear to the gold on some of the edges and some staining.
