Royal Chelsea Fine Bone China Tea Cup and Saucer - English Rose Pattern

This is a vintage fine bone china tea cup and saucer set, likely manufactured by Royal Chelsea in England during the mid-20th century, approximately between 1943 and 1961 based on the style and typical markings of this pattern. The set is crafted from high-quality, translucent bone china and features a delicate pink rose or cherry blossom floral motif. The exterior of the cup and the surface of the saucer are decorated with transfer-printed clusters of pink flowers with green foliage and dark brown branches. The cup has an elegant 'D' shaped handle with a thumb rest and a slightly flared rim. Both pieces are finished with a vibrant, hand-applied 22kt gold gilt rim. The condition appears to be very good with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, though there is a slight dark mark visible on the left side of the saucer rim that may be a minor scuff or production irregularity. The luster of the glaze remains high, indicating minimal wear from use. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-end English production typical of the Staffordshire potteries region.
