Manufacturer: Wedgwood China
Attractive vintage Wedgwood Bone China demitasse cup & saucer in the Columbia pattern. We believe the shape of this cup with its straight, flat sides is called the bond shape. We have just one of these cup & saucer sets and no other pieces of this pattern, as received out of a home.

Clean, crisp white bone china, these pieces are porcelain as they are translucent. They are decorated with an elegant floral and winged bird/creature, along with an intertwining scrolled design and other lining and green edging. The creatures and scrolled designs are in a yellow and brown coloring, with the flowers in pink, purple, blue, yellow & green.

Fully marked on the underside bases of each piece with the Wedgwood urn insignia in black along with "Wedgwood, Bone China, Made in England". There are also some letters and numbers in colored paint, along with what we think is the pattern number "W595".

Round saucer measures 4 3/4 inches in diameter with a lowered center section and broad flat shoulders, sitting about 9/16 inch in height. The cup alone sits about 2 1/4 inches in height with an upwardly curved side handle. Greatest width with the handle is about 3 1/8 inches, with a top opening diameter of 2 1/4 inches. Together these pieces sit about 2 1/2 inches in height and weigh slightly over 6 ounces unpacked.

We've provided multiple images to show varied sides and some close-ups. Please note that the camera causes white "hot spot" reflections on the smooth glossy surfaces and at times "blands" out some of the detail, particularly with the white base color. So we've included a few images shot without the camera light. These appear darker but can help to show some detail better. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.

Wonderful condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. These pieces do not look used as we don't see scratches or use wear, but we can't guarantee that. It does look to us like the brown scroll design areas and the yellow on the winged creatures have some wear/paint wear, as these do not always look as full in color or line as we would expect, but we think this could be from handling/washing over time, or perhaps as made, we don't know. There are a few pin dots of white in the green paint trim which could be dots of wear or as made also. Still nothing you would notice on display or in use. The underside of the saucer has one spot that is not fully glazed as made.
