{"product_id":"kent-china-complete-tea-set-green-gold-1950","title":"Complete Tea Set for Five | Kent China Green \u0026 Gold Band | c.1950","description":"\u003cp\u003eA complete vintage tea set — and we mean \u003cem\u003ecomplete\u003c\/em\u003e. Five cups and saucers, milk jug, sugar bowl, cake plate, and five side plates, all in matching Kent China with that gorgeous green and gold band that somehow manages to look both understated and completely fabulous at the same time. Finding a full set like this intact is genuinely rare, and this one has clearly lived a good life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKent China was produced by Taylor \u0026amp; Kent of Longton, Staffordshire — a respected English bone china manufacturer active from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The T\u0026amp;K crown backstamp with pattern number 5599 dates this set to around 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA note on condition: this set shows honest signs of a life well-lived. There is some discolouration and surface wear consistent with decades of use — the kind of patina that tells you this set actually made people happy. The colours, however, remain absolutely fantastic: that green band is vivid, the gold trim is largely intact, and the overall effect is still stunning. Too beautiful to throw away — which is exactly why it's here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Kent China by Taylor \u0026amp; Kent, Longton, Staffordshire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern number: 5599\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: c.1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet includes: 5 cups \u0026amp; saucers, milk jug, sugar bowl, cake plate, 5 side plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: vintage, discolouration and surface wear present — see photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serving tea from this set will make your guests feel like they've been invited to a proper English country house.
