THIS IS FOR 4 SALAD PLATES: I have a total of 12 of these very elegant Aynsley bone china 8 1/8 salad plates in the elegant Leighton pattern : a deep cobalt blue rim with an articulate 24kt gold gilding. Condition is Excellent, with no chips, crack, staining or gouging knife marks. Looks like these were seldom used. Cobalt reflects as Black in some photos but it is definitely cobalt in life. Please see all photos. These are translucent: you really can see your hand’s shadow through them. This is a property of good porcelain/bone china. Aynsley was one of the first potteries in England to specialize in Bone China creating a very strong china that is thinner and lighter than others. Queen Victoria recognized their quality by granting a royal warrant which is why they have a royal crown in their logo. In England everyone knows Aynsley is synonymous with high-end quality bone china. Really an exceptional set. Also have other plates and cup and saucers in this pattern.
