This gorgeous little tea set was made by The Washington Pottery in Hanley, England. We have searched all over the web to find out more about this lovely design. It seems there is a similar pattern called Harlequinade, designed by the Empire Porcelain Company of Stoke-on-Trent in the 1950s. Examples of this are available in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Empire designs tended to be in darker colours with a deep burgundy red being typical.

Here at yay retro! we prefer bright yellow!
