THIS cup and saucer set is one of several pieces we recently found in a very large estate sale. It was one of the most comprehensive personal tea cup collections we'd ever seen, with many of the items coming from potters we've not before heard of. This ones' a first, though - a luncheon-style 3 piece place setting with the world-renowned emblem of the FREEMASONS. As is typical with the unusual items, we can not find any information specific to tis sets' production, but we did uncover some items relative to the manufacturer, ROSINA. Formerly known as G. Warrilow & Son, Rosina was churning out pottery and related items until just recently; having closed its doors for good in 2000. The open-bottom crown detail of the logo indicates this set was produced between 1946 and 1948.

     AS WITH most all else from this acquisition, this set is all in excellent condition; with no evidence of damage, abuse or wear. The sandwich or bread plate measures an approximate 6 3/8". This set will make a unique addition to any collection of fine china, and will probably prove to be worth much, much more than our asking price.
