As a gift for Mother's Day, I
purchased
this beautiful basket of flowers at an Atlanta jewelry store in approximately
1974
.  It was new at purchase but is now considered
vintage
, at close to
50 years
existence.
The basket weights ~
1 lb 3 oz
.  It is about
5"H and 13" circumference
.  The basket, with handle, is
white
.  In the basket, among leaves of pale green, are
10 beautifully detailed flowers of pink; yellow; red; purple
.  It is very pretty and is in great shape.  Please view the photographs.
Bone china
is a type of
porcelain
that is composed of
bone ash
, feldspathic material, and kaolin.
Bone china
is the strongest of the
porcelain
or
china ceramics
, having very high mechanical and physical strength and chip resistance, and is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency.  In the pottery/china business since 1775 (Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, UK),
Aynsley has been producing
practical dinnerware and decorative arts
for 245 years!
This objet d'art (fancy, eh?) will
