I purchased this at a market in Canterbury, England, about 8 years ago. This is a very charming tea set fired by Devon Pottery in the southwest of England. I have cherished this collection, which bears the memories of two towns: "Harlech," a historic castle town in North Wales, and "Dawlish," a summer resort in South Devon. However, due to changes in my living environment, I would like to pass it on to the next owner, hence this listing. This is a vintage item that has been loved and used for many years. There are signs of repair on the spout of the teapot and the handle of the cup (please see photos). It has been carefully reinforced with a resin-like material, and it's not just a chip; it conveys the affection of the previous owner who "wanted to use it even if it meant repairing it." It is currently in usable condition, but there are a few crackles, like crazing, on the bottom and sides of the cups. I recommend this to those who understand the charm of vintage items. The contrast between the deep cobalt blue and ivory is a color unique to Devon Pottery of this era. This vibrant blue is also known as "Devon Blue" and is a color favored by collectors. The same series is rare even in the UK, and it is particularly difficult to find a pair with different landscapes. It possesses the unique texture created by the glaze's subtle variations and the passage of time. Cup: Diameter 8cm / Height 7cm Teapot: Diameter 7cm / Height 8cm / Width 11cm It's small and easy to handle, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea. I think it would also be cute to put flowers in the teapot. It has a "quiet pride" that only old things possess, something that perfect new items lack. I would be delighted if this piece found its way into the hands of someone who can appreciate these repairs as "part of the item's history," or someone who loves the quiet elegance of British vintage. ★ Charm of Local Pottery: Unlike large brands like Wedgwood, this was a relatively small pottery (ceramic workshop) rooted in Devon. Product Characteristics: From the 1960s to the 1970s, they produced many "souvenir wares" for tourist destinations in the UK (like Canterbury and Wales) and household tableware. The factory closed in 1984.
