37-Piece Vintage Colclough Braganza Fine Bone China Tea Service.

An extensive and stunning vintage tea service in the iconic Braganza pattern (No. 8454).

Elegant scalloped rims are accented with a rich 22ct gold gilt finish, and the light, delicate clay body is typical of premium post-war Staffordshire pottery.

Famous pop culture connection: This is the exact pattern used on-screen as Hyacinth Bucket's coveted "Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles" in the iconic BBC comedy Keeping Up Appearances. While the character claimed it was Doulton, the prop department used this exact Colclough service for her legendary candlelight suppers.
