Complete chinaware (white) place setting for 6 people, consisting of the following, all intact but plain: 6 dinner plates, 6 dessert plates, 6 soup bowls, 6 large teacups, 6 medium teacups, 6 small teacups, 1 oval serving bowl, 2 small oval serving dishes, and 1 gravy boat. The plates 7" and 9", the cups 2" and 2-1/4" and 2-1/2". While each piece in this spread is plain white (glaze intact), with no markings, the completeness of the set is remarkable, as this was not a Chinese wreck with thousands of sets in cargo; rather, this set was probably in the ship's kitchen or officers' quarters, even though each piece really does not look used, just a few with light stains from the sea and crackling or chipping in the glaze only. While this set is ideal for reselling piecemeal, we urge potential bidders to consider how cool it would be to have a dinner party for six on china from an 18th-century English E.I. Co. shipwreck! (Extra packing charges apply.) From the Queen, sunk in 1799 off Salvador, Brazil.
