Item:386887672100FOLEY BONE CHINA, Trailing Ivy, design 5043 . This is an exquisite little set of four cups and saucers, plus four slightly larger extra saucers. The Trailing Ivy pattern is in green and an ochre yellow with the trimmings in gold. The design number 5043 is marked on all the pieces in gold, which indicates it dates from the 1890’s. All four cups are also marked with the number R208329 in green, and all 10 pieces are stamped “The Foley China, England”. The diameter of the cups is approximately 8.5 centimetres , the smaller saucers are approximately 13 centimetres and the larger saucers are approximately 14.5 centimetres. Considering their great age and how delicate they, the condition is remarkably good. One cup has a fine crack near the handle, see photo, and there is a little browning on the inside of one of the other cups. The gold trim is really in very good condition and shows little sign of wear for its age. All in all this is a very pretty set.
