Vintage Pickard China 24K Gold Encrusted Cream and Sugar Set with Under-Tray

This is a luxury three-piece vintage serving set manufactured by Pickard China in the United States. The set consists of a cream pitcher and an open sugar bowl, both seated upon a matching rectangular under-tray with integrated open-loop handles. Every surface of the set is completely covered in a rich, 24-carat gold encrustation, a hallmark of Pickard's high-end craftsmanship. The porcelain body is finished with a 'Rose and Daisy' etched pattern, which provides a textured, shimmering quality to the gold. The tray features a slightly irregular, hand-processed texture typical of mid-20th-century gold leaf application. The interiors of the vessels are also fully gilded, indicating premium production standards. The physical condition appears excellent with a consistent metallic luster and no visible chips or cracks, although very minor surface rubbing consistent with age may be present on the tray's contact points. This set likely dates from the 1930s to the 1950s, a period when Pickard established itself as a premier American manufacturer of fine porcelain, often preferred for presidential and diplomatic service.
