A Set of English Bone China Tea and Dessert Wares in the Victoria Pattern by C.S.A. Radfordian - A set of English bone china tea and dessert wares featuring transfer-printed and hand-gilded decoration. The service is decorated in the Victoria pattern, comprising a recurring blue border of floral swags, foliate garlands, and circular medallions set within a geometric fretwork band. The rims of all pieces are finished with hand-applied gold gilding. The group includes dessert or side plates with slightly scalloped edges, a larger circular serving plate, saucers, teapots with low wide bowls and scrolled handles, and a cream jug with a single scrolled handle and pouring spout. The underside of the ceramics features a blue printed mark consisting of a crown symbol above the word VICTORIA, followed by the initials C.S.A., the brand name RADFORDIAN, and the country of origin ENGLAND. This identifies the manufacturer as Chapmans (Longton) Ltd, an English pottery company operating in Staffordshire. An orange adhesive price label and small white inventory stickers are present on the surfaces of several pieces.
