Details: This a very ornate and beautiful sauciere, the pictures do not fully represent the beauty of this piece. The pattern is very rare and very old, it consists of pink and red roses with tiny bluish/purple flowers. The flowers are surrounded by leaves in varying colors from green, to blue, to golden yellow against a bright white bone china. It has a gold rim and many gold details including on the underplate handles. This style is called a saucière, which typically has no handle and two pour spouts, but can easily be used as a gravy boat. Overall a very sweet, delicate pattern. If you like this pattern, we currently carry several other pieces and several dinnerware place settings.

The R.C. back stamp on this dinnerware goes back to 1933. It means Royal Crockery, a brand created for the India and Southeast Asian market, and registered in India. Used for the first time in 1933 and through approx. 1946. Although the RC mark was reused after WWII, it was called "Rose China", in conjunction with "Made in Japan".
