History: This trio has some unique pattern characteristics, starting with the soft pastel yellow background (not visible in the picture), which is relatively uncommon and adds to its appeal. The bright and primary flowers with stylized centres outlined in brown and highlighted with delicate shading. The rim and handle trim have gold gilt accents. This kind of vivid, hand applied decal work was typical of mid-century Staffordshire tea ware, aimed at the domestic and export markets. The pastel yellow background, distinctive handle shape, and crips floral design are suited to collectors seeking mid century florals or colourful vintage trios.
