Vintage Franciscan Aquarius China Place Setting

This item is a vintage china place setting, likely from the mid-20th century, specifically comprising a teacup and two coordinating plates. The set is predominantly colored in a soft, muted aqua or robin's egg blue with distinctive silver/platinum trimming. The teacup features a white interior adorned with an elegant floral or botanical motif in shades of light blue and brown/gold, suggestive of a stylized spray of leaves and blossoms. The exterior of the teacup, its footed base, and all three plates share the same serene aqua color. Each piece is edged with a thin, gleaming band of silver or platinum, indicating a higher quality of dinnerware. The cup has a silver-colored handle that matches the rim trim, adding to its sophisticated aesthetic. The plates appear to be of graduated sizes, designed for a full place setting (e.g., salad plate, dessert plate, and possibly a bread plate or saucer). The porcelain or china material has a smooth, glossy finish. No visible chips, cracks, or significant wear are apparent from the image, suggesting good preservation. The style is indicative of post-war American dinnerware design, often found in patterns from makers like Franciscan, with its emphasis on clean lines, delicate patterns, and metallic accents. The overall craftsmanship appears fine, with attention to detail in the hand-painted or decal decoration.
