Spode Delphi SET of 5 Gold Leaves on Vine - and 45 similar items

A gorgeous and versatile set from this renowned, luxury china maker...retired but available in wonderful condition. This bone china SET of 5 pieces (1 bread/desert plate, 2 tea saucers, 2 tea cups) is from Spode's gorgeous and versatile 'Delphi' pattern (Y8022). This pattern was produced in England between 1962 and 1994. The design features a delicate gold leaf and vine motif around the inner rim with gold trim on the outer edge. This pattern exemplifies Spode's refined craftsmanship and attention to detail with each golden leaf so beautifully painted and the entire pattern one of elegant simplicity and timeless design. More than anything, this design looks lovely when in actual usage and combines well with many other golden accented patterns from Spode. (So, would mix-match nicely with other Spode patterns with just golden trim, for example.) This Delphi pattern was retired by 1994 and so can only be purchased from the secondary / resale market like this listing. This near mint condition set is as close to "new" as you can get when expanding your number of settings or purchasing the set new (see Please Note comment below for quantity of pieces available). This place setting includes the following piece type, quantity and approximate sizes (diameters measuring across each piece): 1 Bread/Dessert Plates - 6.25 inch 2 Tea Saucers - 5.25 inch 2 Tea Cups - 2.5 inches tall x 3 inch wide (at the rim) Condition: Although this set was pre-owned, it was lovingly owned and well protected. Pieces have no damage (chips, cracks, crazing / crackles, major scratches beyond surface) and do not show excessive usage. Rather each piece appears as nearly new and quite magnificent. Pictures do not give proper justice to the beauty and elegance of this set. Please Note: At the time of listing, we had available 17 place settings as well as a few individual pieces of this same lovely pattern in separate listings.
