Wileman and Company, Early Shelley China, White Gold Trio, Shelley Trio, Victorian Trio, Antique Teacups, Vintage Teacup, WC China
This trio, a plate, teacup and saucer, is Victorian china at its finest. The pleats are mesmerizing.
The mark is that of Wileman & Co. Fenton & Longton, Staffordshire, England (circa 1892-1925). The Rd No. marks are design registration date marks from the English Registry mark system. Rd No 60650 is a code for the year 1887 and represents the design of the decoration on the china.
Prior to becoming Wileman & Co. in 1892 the company was know as James & Charles Wileman, Foley China Works. This company was established in 1864 and James Wileman continued the company under his own first & last name until he left or died in 1892. The business continued under new ownership from 1892 to 1925 under the Wileman & Co. name. In 1925 it became Shelley Potteries Ltd.
Shelley hired the finest artisans of their day and used the most expensive materials available. Their name became synonymous with quality.
Measurements: The saucer is 5.75" on the diagonal. The cup is 3.75" from rim to rim at the widest part and 2.25" high. The plate is 7.5" across the diagonal.
This English bone china is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. There are a few black specks which are expected in Victorian china. They are under the glaze. We do not sell damaged items.
The price includes one plate, one teacup and one saucer plus free US shipping and free shipping insurance.
