Tudor Ware “Banded Sky Blue” Art Deco Teacup Trio, 1930s, Made in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eA complete tea setting can make an ordinary pause feel like a proper ritual. This hand-painted Barker Bros. trio brings a little 1930s geometry to an afternoon tea tray, with sky-blue bands, creamy English ceramic and the satisfying feeling of using something made for gracious everyday living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePicture the cup and saucer beside a book, with the matching side plate holding a slice of cake or a few biscuits; or use the trio to give a guest’s morning tea a sense of occasion without reaching for anything too formal. The clean lines work beautifully in a contemporary kitchen, a collected dining room or a cabinet where the blue-and-cream palette can quietly do its thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade by Barker Bros. Ltd. under its Tudor Ware line at the Meir Works in Longton, Staffordshire, this “Banded Sky Blue” design is a lovely example of British Art Deco restraint. The bands were hand-painted by factory decorators, so small variations are part of the charm rather than evidence of mass-produced sameness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barker Bros.
