Antique Blue & White T&R Fluted Teacup & Saucer | Chrysanthemum Motif with Gold Trim

An elegant antique teacup and saucer set featuring a vivid blue chrysanthemum transferware pattern with paneled fluting and hand-applied gold accents. Likely produced by the Staffordshire firm Thomas & Richard Boote in the mid-to-late 1800s, the base mark reads “R. Pattern / T & R / Shape.” The design is segmented by gold-lined vertical panels, creating a dramatic and refined presentation.

Both pieces exhibit signs of age consistent with their history, including surface crazing, faded gilt, and small chips along the rim. Still, the set makes a beautiful shelf display and a lovely addition to any antique ceramics collection.
