RARE, COMPLETE, 1930's SUSIE COOPER 16 PC. COFFEE SET IN PINK DRESDEN SPRAY

  
I have owned most of these pieces for more than 30 years, but they have spent a lot of that time packed away due to lack of display space. On offer is a rare, complete, 16 piece coffee set, in Dresden Spray pattern, (Pattern number 1005) with pink washband. The set consist of 6 x cups, 6 x saucers, milk jug, sugar basin and coffee pot with cover, in the Rex shape. This pattern was produced from 1935. Condition is generally excellent, with no cracks or chips to the cups, saucers and milk jug, with only slight crazing due to age and use. There is a crack to the side of the sugar basin (see photographs) and there looks to have been some attempt to cover a hairline crack at the bottom join of the handle of the coffee pot, although there is no suggestion that the handle has been off, as the top edge is perfect. All pieces have clear backstamps for'A Susie Cooper Production, Crown Works, Burslem'. One of the cups has a slightly different backstamp, so it could have been a replacement, at some point, although the sets were often put together by the retailer, so it could equally be original. However, collection in person is welcome.
