LOT OF 88 ANTIQUE Dishes with white base color and Yellow, Blue & 22k Gold Urn Design band as well as gold rim and stipe details. OVINGTON BROS WAS A PROMINENT UP-SCALE DEPARMENT STORE BASED IN NEW YORK CITY BEGINNING IN THE 1800's. THIS PARTICULAR SET WAS ORIGINAL PRODUCED IN ENGLAND, AND THEN IMPORTED TO THE U.
ESTIMATED AGE: EARLY 1900's. BEAUTIFUL YELLOW & BLUE BORDER COLOR WITH VERY BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED GOLD BAND AROUND THE OUTTER EDGE OF EACH PIECE. 10 x DINNER PLATES DIAMETER 10.5.10 x LUNCHEON / SALAD PLATES DIAMETER 9. 10 x BREAD PLATES DIAMETER 6.
10 x WIDE RIM BOWLS DIAMETER 9. 10 x SMALL BOWLS DIAMETER 5.5. 8 x DOUBLE HAND SOUP CUPS DIAMETER 4" WIDTH INCLUDING HANDLES 5.75". 6 x TEA / COFFEE CUPS (SINGLE HAMDLE) DIAMETER 4" WIDTH INCLUDING HANDLE 5".
24 x SAUCERS DIAMETER 5.75 (AFTER PAIRING WITH ABOVE DOUBLE & SINGLE HANDLES CUPS LEAVES 10 EXTRAS). IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR AGE. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I NOTICED AND WANT TO CALL OUT-ONE LUNCHEON/SALAD PLATE HAD A CHIP WITH A REPAIR.I WOULD RECOMMEND IT ONLY BE USED FOR DISPLAY-SEE LAST PHOTO FOR DETAILS. FOR THE MOST PART THE GOLD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR AGE BUT THERE IS A LUNCHEON/SALAD PLATE AND A COUPLE OF TEA/COFFEE CUPS THAT HAS MORE WARE THAN THE REST IF THE SET-SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS. THE WIDE BANDS OF GOLD LOOK VERY GOOD BUT I DO SEE. SOME GOLD WEAR ON THE INNER RINGS ON SOME OF THE SAUCER, PLATES & BOWLS AS WELL AS SOME OF THE CUP HANDLES.
THERE IS SOME CRAZING ON A FEW PIECES BUT MOSTLY NOT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS TO ANY INTERESTED BUYERS. BASED ON MY RESEARCH I DO BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY RARE SET. ESPECIALLY ONE OF THIS AGE, SIZE, CONDITION AND EXCLUSIVITY. THIS WOULD HABE BEEN SOMETHING THAT ONLY THE VERY RICH WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD.
