FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONWE OFFER THIS CUP, SAUCER AND BREAD & BUTTER PLATE. THE BACK STAMP IS BOOTHS, ENGLAND, MADE ESPECIALLY FOR CHARLES R. LYNDE, BOSTON, MA. THE MARK IS PRIOR TO BOOTHS REGISTERING AS LTD IN 1898. THERE IS NOT MUCH INFORMATION ON CHARLES R. LYNDE. HE DID OWN A CHINA STORE IN BOSTON BUT ALL INFO IS SO VAGUE THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE 1860'S OR 1880'S. SO IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DATE THESE PIECES BUT, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT THEY WERE MADE BEFORE BOOTHS BECAME BOOTHS LTD IN 1898. THERE ARE ALSO RED LETTERS WHICH WE COULD NOT DECIPHER.
THE PATTERN IS BOUQUETS OF VIBRANT FLOWERS ON WHITE AND LOTS OF GOLD TRIM, ALL INTACT.
THE SAUCER & PLATE BOTH HAVE LIGHT CRAZING AND NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. THE CUP HAS 2 STAPLE REPAIRS ON THE HANDLE---AND VERY NICELY DONE---SEE PICTURES---PICTURE 10 SHOWS THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM OF HANDLE.
THE PLATE MEASURES 6" IN DIAMETER. SAUCER IS 5 1/2" IN DIAMETER. THE CUP STANDS JUST OVER 2" WITH A RIM DIAMETER OF 3 3/8".
