1950’s Vintage Marlborough Shape Grindley Porcelain Tea Trio – Rare Kingfisher Pattern

Designed and released under the Royal Petal range with Marlborough shape, a porcelain tea trio manufactured by Grindley between 1940 and 1959 when this particular pattern was discontinued. The trio consists of the tea cup with mild graduation together with the matching saucer and squared tea plate, decorated with colourful Kingfisher birds and floral patterning.
