Elegant vintage Aynsley Bone China Sherwood pattern 8163 service featuring a soft green ground, intricate gilt floral scrollwork and extensive hand-applied gold trim. This substantial 25-piece collection includes: • 5 large dinner plates • 5 medium-sized plates • 5 smaller plates • 5 teacups • 5 saucers All pieces are marked Aynsley England Bone China Sherwood 8163 N.G. to the undersides. Please note: one of the five teacups is a slightly smaller/different cup form than the other four. It is also marked Aynsley Sherwood 8163 and matches the pattern and decoration, but differs somewhat in shape and size. This is clearly shown in the photographs. The remaining four teacups are matching. The service has beautiful decorative appeal, with pale green grounds, ornate gilt scrollwork, scalloped edges and gold-rimmed borders. A lovely choice for entertaining, display, a traditional tea service, or for a collector of Aynsley china.
