Firenze Pattern Flow Blue Ceramic Tea Set

This is a partially completed ceramic tea or chocolate set featuring the 'Firenze' flow blue pattern, likely produced in England during the late 19th or early 20th century (Victorian or Edwardian era). The set consists of six wide-rimmed teacups and one covered vessel, possibly a sugar bowl or small tureen. The pieces are constructed from heavy white ironstone or semi-porcelain, characterized by a creamy white base glaze. The decoration features a deep cobalt blue 'flow' effect where the ink bleeds into the glaze, accompanied by secondary orange/gold floral highlights. Each cup displays an interior central floral motif and a decorative rim band. The larger lidded piece features more elaborate transfer scenes depicting historical or architectural figures on its bulbous body, flanked by ornate scroll handles. The lid is crowned with a highly detailed, molded finial. Regarding condition, there is visible wear including moderate crazing across the glaze surface, some staining in the interior of the cups, and minor surface abrasions consistent with use and age. One cup appears to have a small hairline fracture near the rim. The overall craftsmanship represents a mass-produced but high-quality decorative transferware popular in the late 1800s.
