Description
Victoria Austria 'Blue Bird' china set of 18 pieces (picture 1). Set includes 1 mini teapot with lid (4 1/4" across, 3 1/4" deep, picture 2), 1 sugar bowl with lid (3 3/4" across, 2 3/4" deep, picture 3), 1 creamer (3 1/2" across, 2 1/4" deep, picture 4), 3 demitasse cups (2 1/2" across, 2 1/4" deep, picture 5), 6 saucers (4 7/8" across, picture 6), 2 dessert bowls (5 1/2" across, picture 8), 3 bread and butter plates (6 3/8" across, picture 9), and 1 salad plate (7 1/2" across, picture 10).The marks all indicate manufacture by Victoria in Austria circa 1904-1918. 4 of the saucers and the two dessert bowls have the green crown inside a circle (picture 12). 2 of the demitasse cups are marked with just the word Austria printed above the Blue Bird stamp. All the remaining pieces have the Victoria Austria crown with no circle (picture 11). One of the saucers is lacking the blue ring around the center depression (picture 7).
The set was owned by my family and stored away since the 40's by best estimate. They were kept in a dry attic of a non-smoking house individually wrapped in newspaper in a cardboard box labeled 'children's tea set'. They are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks, but they have not been evaluated by a professional.
I would like to sell the entire set together but I am not opposed to selling individual pieces, if you message me. I pay shipping for a USPS Priority Mail package and that cost has been calculated into the asking price. Thank you for your consideration!
