89-PIECES OF BEAUTIFUL ENGLISH CROWN DUCAL "GLORIA" PAT FINE CHINA - CIRCA 1930

Description

WELCOME!
I selling an 89-Piece Set of Beautiful,
Antique
Crown Ducal English
"Gloria" Pattern
china in Unused Condition.  The Rd. number on the back of the pieces indicates that it was made in about 1930.
Description:
The base color of the china varies slightly from a medium mustard to a light mustard color (this is evident on my photos).  The shapes of the pieces are very interesting and eye catching - some are hexagonal and some are square with clipped corners (see photos).  The borders of the pieces have a wonderful raised floral, embossed pattern that sets off the colorful "Bouquet" of flowers in the center.  There is a raised ridge around the outside of the rim.
History:
I purchased the set at a wealthy Private Estate Sale in Eau Claire, Wisconsin many years ago - everything there was antique!  A Grand Daughter was conducting the sale and gave me the following information:  Her Grand Mother received the set as a wedding gift about 1932.  Grandma said that the set was to beautiful to use, so she put it in her china closet for decoration.  It sat there for many years until she moved and then it was carefully packed and stored away and forgotten.  The family didn't find it again until Grandma died and they were getting ready for the sale.  It was actually a set for twelve, but some of the pieces were broken during the yearly cleaning sessions.
