Enjoy the bonnie thistle with its vibrant colors.
Royal Standard Bone China of England has created this attractive design and named it Scots Emblem.
In 1249, invaders came ashore under the cover of darkness. In might have worked, if one of the soldiers had not stepped upon the native growing thistle. When he shrieked in pain, the Scots became aware of the location of the army. The hostile soldiers lost the battle.
The order of the Garter was created by King James and used the thistle as part of the badge for the knights.
Perhaps you would like to bring this pretty teacup and saucer to a housewarming or bridal shower as a useful, pretty token of the recipients Scottish heritage.
Measurements: The saucer is 5.75" in diameter. The cup is 3.75" from rim to rim and is 2.6" high.
This set is in excellent condition. There is a tiny spot of a mold mark which is lacking glaze under the saucer. It is barely noticeable or we would not have purchased it. This is considered a flaw rather than damage because it occurred at manufacture. However we have reduced the price of the teacup and saucer. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. You may buy with confidence. We do not sell damaged wares.

A perfect transaction! The cup and saucer are stunning and just as described. It arrived earlier than I anticipated, so I could not be happier with my purchase.
