Foley Individual Tea Set
Foley Individual Tea Set
Foley bone china individual tea set.
This was designed for use aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 for the first class, chosen because of its stackability and cube shape, which meant a lower chance of breakages. The design was so loved that the design was made and sold as souvenirs too!
This set was used in service as it is not stamped 'souvenir' below the makers mark.

About Ellacott Antiques
We set up Ellacott Antiques in June 2024. As a father and daughter duo we are both lovers of history, so really enjoy learning the background of every piece we buy, often trying to discover more about it before passing it on to its next owner. Paul has an interest in a wide range of antiques and antiquities, from pre-history to mid-century modern. Martha is very interested in mid century with an appreciation for anything colourful.
