A Present from Victoria!
Having our afternoon cuppa from this lovely bone china tea set. It was apparently a present to my Great Grandmother from Queen Victoria, - she was in service, and at Christmas times, all the servants were given a present. There is unfortunately no provenance to go with it, and I only had my Mothers say so that it was true. We lived, and I was born just down the road from Osborne House, so I suspect that there was something in the story. Anyway, it is very pretty, and the tea tastes delicious!
If anyone recognises the design do let me know if anything is still around. It has 'Burmah', and made in England stamped on it, along with the makers stamp which looks like a Lion?
