The set comprises a teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl and six cups with saucers, all decorated with the characteristic Chartreuse pattern: a rich floral and bird design in dark green, yellow and turquoise on a white ground with gilded accents. One cup has a small chip; the remainder of the set is in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMason's Patent Ironstone China was patented in 1813 by Charles James Mason in England as a durable, opaque ceramic that could imitate porcelain at lower cost. The Chartreuse pattern is one of the longest-running decorations in the Mason's repertoire, combining influences from Chinese export ceramics with English naturalistic floral motifs. The teapot has the octagonal form characteristic of Mason's, with scale-shaped handles and a lobed lid knop. The backstamp with crown and scroll is characteristic of late nineteenth-century production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Collectionist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46491338834244,"sku":"7","price":199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/1442\/9896\/products\/image_dbf77597-283a-4218-9ccc-c853e6202862.heic?v=1680720638","url":"https:\/\/thecollectionist.nl\/en\/products\/masons-ironstone-tea-service-chartreuse-pattern-england-1889","provider":"The Collectionist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
