38-Piece Fine Bone China Tea & Cake Set “Malvern” Pattern
38-Piece Fine Bone China Tea & Cake Set “Malvern” Pattern
This beautiful and extensive vintage tea service was produced by A. B. Jones & Sons, known as Grafton China, at their Longton works in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Grafton China was admired throughout the early to mid-20th century for its fine bone china wares decorated with graceful floral motifs and delicate gilded detail. The factory’s output reflects the golden age of English tea culture, where beauty, hospitality, and daily ritual were intertwined.
The “Malvern” pattern features vibrant hand-finished floral bouquets in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and green, framed with decorative borders and highlighted with hand-applied gold trim. Light, joyful, and refined, it brings the nostalgic charm of a garden in bloom directly to the table.
