Shelley Tea Cup and Saucer, Ripon Shape, Melody Pattern, Chintz Tea Cups, English Bone China Cups, Antique Tea Cups Vintage, Shelley China
Shelley Fine Bone China created this gorgeous tea cup and saucer in their Ripon shape using the Melody pattern. Because it is an all over design, it is referred to as chintz. The inside of the softly scalloped cup is a soft pastel yellow. It is not faded. The uneven yellow is just photography.
Shelley hired the finest artisans of the time and used the best materials available. They became the gold standard for English tea cups. They weigh less than other bone china because of the quality of the ingredients.
Yet, they are strong. Touching a piece brings to mind elegant teas. Begin your day with color, style and touches of gold.
Measurements: The saucer is 5.6" in diameter. The cup is 3.4" from rim to rim and 2.75" high.
This antique tea cup and saucer is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. We do not sell damaged items. You may buy with confidence.

We no longer sell to China or the Middle East. Although the people are lovely, we have had too many delivery problems.

Of course, we are happy to work with large orders. Contact us through messages and explain your needs.
Do not wash any of the china in the dishwasher. It may cause crazing if boiling water is poured directly into the cup. These are not made for microwave use either.
We do not know the exact materials used in the china. We are selling them as decorative items.
We offer free gift wrapping on most items. It is mentioned in the listing.
