This is a beautiful heirloom set, acquired over 40 years ago, and in excellent condition. The pattern is the classic Aynsley "Pembroke" gold trim pattern.
The "Replacements" warehouse in North Carolina describes this pattern as follows: "Founded in 1775, John Aynsley & Sons China is one of the most influential companies in the British tableware industry. Pembroke-Gold Trim is an iconic Aynsley dinnerware pattern that features a sprawling, brilliantly colored floral motif based on an Asian-inspired, 18th-century Aynsley design."
Sadly, the Aynsley factory in Stoke-on-Trent England closed a decade ago, so no more is being made.
This set would make a perfect gift for a recipient who appreciates classic decorative arts design.
For purposes of this auction, the value of $350 is set with reference to the prices for Aynsley pieces in the online Replacements warehouse shop.
