Staffordshire 6Pc. Pearlware Set

This is super tea and coffee set probably made by Leeds of the Staffordshire region around 1780. It is made of Pearlware and has the typical bluish glaze where it pooled. All pieces are handpainted with a red, blue and gold design all around. It is not easy to find a set like this anymore! All pieces have wear to the gilding which would be expected with something this old. There are also a number of restorations that are very well done but were never glazed nor colored. Sort of like Museum restorations but better. There are the following pieces:

1) One teapot - repaired chip to spout, repaired narrow chip to lid and a teeny chip to lid. It is 4.25 inches tall, 7.25 inches long, 4.25 inches in diameter.

2) Coffee Pot - Repaired chip to spout, repaired section to rim (double chip that isn't small). I think the spout was broken out of the pot but it was repaired well. It is 10 inches tall.

3) Creamer - two repaired sections on top rim and a small chip to handle. It is 5.5 inches tall.

4) Sugar dish - two small chips to rim of main part and an unimportant small one to bottom of footring. It is 4 inches tall.

5) Tea Caddy - Lid missing, some crazing to top part. It is 4 inches tall.

6) Waste Bowl - 4 small rim chips that are mostly glaze chips. Wear to inside bottom but most of inside picture is still there and a few spots of red enamel flaking. One spot of missing glaze on outside like a shallow chip but in the middle of the outside area. It is 2.625 inches tall and 5.75 inches in diameter.

The wastebowl is marked with an underglaze number 3, the inside coffee pot lid has an incised X, the incised sugar pot lid has an incised Z and the inside teapot lid has a signature in black I cannot make out. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
