4 Piece Vintage Gump’s Porcelain Set

Elegant and distinctive, this four-piece porcelain serving set features a crisp white ground with hand-painted copper/rust botanical motifs and fine gold gilt edging. The forms mix softly scalloped curves with geometric square dishes, creating a refined display for tea service, sweets, or vanity use. Each piece is marked “Japanese Porcelain Ware – Hand Painted in Hong Kong – Especially for Gump’s”, indicating a Gump’s-commissioned export-quality set.
