Baby Chick

Name: Baby Chick
 
Type: Duo
 
Year: Likely 1950s–1960s
 
Set: Yes (Cup & Saucer)
 
Mark: None - Unknown British or European maker (unmarked)
 
History: This set is a classic example of mid-20th century nursery ware—functional ceramics intended for children, often sold as part of larger child’s tea sets or Easter gifts. The decal style and color palette align with those popular between the 1950s and early 1960s.
 
 
The absence of a backstamp makes exact attribution difficult. However, the combination of a transfer-printed image and gold trim suggests a British or European origin. Germany and Japan also exported similar unmarked sets post-WWII.
 
 
While these pieces were mass-produced, the nostalgic theme and relatively good condition make it collectible among enthusiasts of vintage nursery ceramics, Easter décor, or kitsch 1950s design.
 
Flaws: Slight fading on the gilt
