Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This lot is in good overall condition commensurate with age and use.

All have rubs to the bases and minor scratching. The enamels are very slightly rubbed especially around the outer rims. 

As hand-painted items the painting has imperfections where for example there are small gaps or smudges in the pattern.

The cup has a noticeable chip on the rim and another minute nick (hardly warrants being called a chip)


The plate has a prominent hairline crack which can be seen on both sides of the vessel, covering about a quarter of the plate.

There are more noticeable scratches on the lilac coloured leaf in the well area.

There are flecks of missing enamel to the black rim.

The base has two sets of printed marks to the base one stating Fantasque Bizarre by Clarice Cliff Newport Pottery and the other 'Wilkinson' 'Honeyglaze' (an attempt has been made to obscure the Wilkinson mark which is faded with a small indentation to the bottom)


The saucer has similar marks to the base of the plate where the Wilkinson stamp is partially obscured.

There are tiny losses of enamel mostly on the orange ring.
