This beautiful piece is a vintage Royal Worcester Palissy Avon Scenes soup cup and saucer, made around 1970. It features a charming pastoral scene and floral border in a classic blue transferware style, typical of English china from that period. With its twin handles and matching underplate, it’s a lovely example of functional tableware that also brings a touch of elegance to the table. The condition is near mint, especially impressive for something over fifty years old. Considering its age, it’s become quite rare to find pieces like this in such good shape, perfect for collectors or anyone looking to add a touch of vintage class to their dinnerware. The cup stands about 2 inches high and both the cup and saucer measure around 6 inches across, making it a generous size for serving soups, stews, or even a cozy bowl of breakfast oats.
Royal Worcester is one of the oldest and most respected names in English porcelain, known for their quality and timeless designs. The Palissy brand, which dates back even further, became part of the Royal Worcester group and produced several beloved lines, including Avon Scenes. These pieces were especially popular in the 1960s and 70s and evoke a sense of nostalgia with their intricate designs inspired by the English countryside. Avon Scenes china was common in British homes, used for Sunday dinners or special gatherings, and is now sought after as collectible vintage china. Collectors love these for their craftsmanship, the crispness of the pattern, and the sturdy but refined feel that stands the test of time. Even if you’re not a dedicated collector, having a piece like this brings a bit of history and vintage charm into everyday life.
