    Description

    CHELSEA BIRD 4-PC PLACE SETTINGS - Eight place settings available for sale.
    Porcelain produced at Chelsea in London in the eighteenth century is regarded by many as the apex of English ceramic art.  Among the most treasured pieces of Chelsea are those decorated in the workshop of James Giles with his birds of "distinctly disheveled appearance."  These pieces have been adapted from Giles' originals in the Colonial Williamsburg collection.
    I have eight place settings - four pieces each - of this beautiful china.  I also have a pitcher and one beautiful serving dish that goes with the set for a total of 34 pieces.  There are four different birds illustrated on the plates (10" & 8") and cups/saucers.  All are in perfect condition except for one of the dinner plates has a small flaw - almost a "lift" in the finish in one spot.  I have attached two photographs attempting to fully disclose.  All have been maintained in controlled air and a smoke-free environment.   For your reference, a single 5-piece place setting on the Mottahaedeh web site is 5.00.  A set of four 10" dinner plates is 0.00 (.00 each).

    Although I hate to part with them, I have down-sized and wish to send them on to their next big adventure.  The sale price includes shipping cost to the
    contiguous
    United States - I will determine which shipping method best.  I am happy to answer questions, send additional photos, and accept reasonable offers.
    Thanks for your interest!
