Golden Crown Teacup Appraisal

Golden Crown Fine Bone China Teacup

This item is an English teacup made of fine bone china, characterized by its translucent white body and scalloped vertical fluting. The cup features a delicate curved handle and a tapered base leading to a steady foot ring. On the exterior, a floral motif is visible, featuring muted yellow flowers and green foliage, consistent with mid-20th-century English ceramic design. The most significant feature is the backstamp on the underside, which displays a shield-shaped crest topped with a crown, containing the words 'GOLDEN CROWN' in an arch over a central crown icon, and 'Fine Bone China' below. Below the crest, the text 'MADE IN ENGLAND' is printed in a clean, sans-serif font. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, though there is a small amount of dark surface residue or shelf wear on the unglazed part of the foot ring. This piece represents the high-quality craftsmanship of English pottery, likely dating from the 1960s to 1980s, designed for elegance and durability in formal tea service.
