Rosina 'Springtime' Bone China Teacup and Saucer

This is a vintage fine bone china teacup and saucer set produced by Rosina China Co. Ltd. from Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The pattern, often referred to as 'Springtime' or identified by the pattern number 4851, features a distinctive lime or light sage green color wash on the lower half of the cup and the outer rim of the saucer. The central decorative motif is a prominent orange-terracotta scrolled cartouche framing a multi-colored floral bouquet consisting of yellow, pink, and blue blossoms. The saucer exhibits a scalloped, bracketed rim with delicate green leafy sprigs and floral accents that mirror the cup's design. The cup features a high-set, ornate handle with subtle gilding or gold trim along the rim and handle edges. This piece likely dates to the mid-20th century, approximately the 1950s. The craftsmanship is indicative of English post-war bone china production, characterized by its translucency and lightweight feel. Condition-wise, the image shows no immediate cracks or chips, though typical items of this age may show light crazing or minor gilt wear on the handle and rim. The transfer printing is crisp, suggesting a high-quality production run for the period.
