LOVELY E. BRAIN E.B. EB FOLEY BLUE FLORAL CUP & SAUCER, PINK ROSES, FAINT CRACK

Description: Maker: This lovely cup and saucer set is by England's E.B. Foley. The complicated history of the E.B. Foley company - also known as E. Brain & Co. Foley - is interwoven with those of several other high-profile English china firms. It began in 1872 as the Foley Potteries in Fenton, England. In 1885, Elijah Brain took over one of the company’s two branches and produced china under the name Robinson & Son. The company was renamed "E. Brain & Co.” in 1903 and produced fine bone china wares under the name “E.B. & Co. Foley” until it purchased the legendary Coalport factory in 1958. In 1963 it assumed the Coalport brand name and in 1967 Coalport became part of the Wedgwood group of companies. Under the auspices of the Wileman company, the other Foley Potteries branch would later become the world-renowned firm Shelley. Another unrelated company under the direction of James Kent Ltd of Longton, England, produced fine china under the name Old Foley. Design: This pretty cup and saucer set has beautiful pink and yellow roses against a pale blue fine bone china background. Age: The E.B. Foley mark on the reverse of both pieces dates the set's production to between 1948 and 1963. Condition: The set has no nicks, chips, utensil marks, cracks, repairs, crazing or significant wear. There is a faint crack in the side of the cup - it's shown in the photos with the penny. Despite the crack, the set is very beautiful and would display well. Size: The saucer is 5 1/2 inches wide. The cup is 2 1/4 inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide. Please check all the photos very carefully - they are an important part of the description.
