BOOTH'S CHINA BLUE & WHITE NANKIN DEMITASSE CUP & SAUCER

Description

Maker
: England's iconic china maker Booths was based in Tunstall, Staffordshire, from 1891 until 1948, when it merged with Colcloughs. In 1955, it became part of the short-lived Allied English Potteries along with Ridgways before eventually becoming part of the Royal Doulton group.
The Booths mark was retired in the 1980s.
Design
: The pattern name "Nankin" appears on both pieces of this classic Booths blue and white demitasse cup and saucer set. The English registration number 659645 also appears, confirming that the Nankin pattern was registered in 1917.
Size
: The cup is 2 3/4 wide and 3 3/8 inches tall. The saucer is 4 3/4 inches wide. Together they weigh 6.7 ounces.
Condition
: Neither piece has any nicks, chips, cracks, significant scratches or repairs. Both have visible crazing, as is common in this pattern. It's shown in the photo with the penny.
