This is a highly decorative vintage 1960s British-made coffee set with a design that looks to European mid-century ones.
The set is complete and made by the Empire Porcelain Pottery, as annotated on the base of the pot. The design was made by the much sought-after designer, John Russell in 1964. He worked for Midwinter, as well as for Empire before the factory's closure in 1967.
The pattern is very Carnaby Street and is made up of red and orange abstract, geometric shapes. This is very rare and hard to source.
The style of the pot is also very mid-century modern in shape.
It is a full set: consisting of the tall coffee pot, milk jug, and open sugar bowl. Six cups and six saucers (with a glossy black glaze to match the coffee pot lid).
All pieces are in excellent condition. These vintage Empire Porcelain items had a tendency to develop glaze crazing - so it is super great to find a set in such lovely condition.
Dimensions: The coffee pot is 22cm in height and the cups have a diameter at the top of about 7 cm. The saucers are 13 cm in diameter.
Due to size and weight - the set will have to be sent Royal Mail, Medium Parcel. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
