Broadhurst \u0026 Sons 'Kendal' Complete Tea Service for Six, Hand-Painted Campanula, c.1930–1940","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomewhere in the English Midlands around 1930–1940, a painter at Jas. Broadhurst \u0026amp; Sons sat down with a very small brush and proceeded to hand-paint campanula (bellflower) sprays in yellow, pink, and blue onto every single piece of this tea service. Then they did it again. And again. Twenty-one times, to be precise — because this is a complete set for six, and complete sets for six don't paint themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is the Kendal pattern: loose, naturalistic bellflower clusters on a warm white ground with a soft blue scalloped rim, the whole thing sitting on Broadhurst's characteristic gently panelled body. It has the easy confidence of English Art Deco at its most domestic — not trying too hard, just quietly lovely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set has never been used. It has spent the intervening 85-odd years in a cupboard, which is either a tragedy or the reason it looks this good. No chips, no cracks, no crazing.
