🏺 Antique Dessert Service by Crown Staffordshire (1903)

A rare and evocative English bone china set, hand-painted by Elvira Parkinson in 1903. Each plate showcases a unique European tourist scene, including Roserlavi, Venice, Schynige Platte, Lucerne, Chamonix, and Zermatt—capturing the romantic spirit of early 20th-century travel.

• Hand-painted vignettes: Each plate is a miniature landscape, likely inspired by the Grand Tour tradition.
• Limoges influence: The style echoes French Limoges porcelain of the same era—especially in the scenic compositions and soft palette.
• Shell plate: Adds a sculptural flourish, possibly used for bonbons or fruit.
