Rare Vintage Erin Ireland Bamboo Handle Shamrock China Tea Set (16-Piece)

Mid-century Irish tableware perfect for display or tea time! This is an original, vintage 16 piece porcelain incomplete tea and plate set from the Erin China line, hand-crafted in Ireland. Every piece features the iconic green clover pattern and delicate gold gilded trimming along the rims and handles. Because each item was hand-painted rather than stamped with mass-manufactured decals, every single clover leaf has unique details and shading variations. The underside of the pieces features the red cursive backstamp reading "Erin, Hand Painted China." Good vintage condition overall. Please note there is natural yellowing/glaze aging on some pieces due to its vintage age, which adds to its authentic mid-century character. There is also a small hairline crack on the inner rim of the sugar bowl (best for display or dry sugar cubes-see photo). Pick up Campbellford (occasionally Peterborough/Belleville)
