This is a pretty little trio group of fine Foley China. It was made in the 1930s by E. Brain & Co, Foley China. The pattern is called Silhouette. The trio consists of a cup, saucer and matching side plate. The Foley Mark on the base of each piece was used in the 1930s.
E. Brain & Co, Ltd were manufacturers of porcelain at the Foley Works at Fenton, Stoke-Upon-Trent from 1902 - 1963. The company specialist in bone china and breakfast wares of high quality and always with good design. Much high quality “hotel ware” china made in the early 20th century was specifically designed and produced for use by shipping lines on the great ocean liners.
Each piece has a dominant lemon yellow colour with a black and grey printed decorative band and this colour scheme is similar to that used on other Foley tablewares of this time. The grey printed image shows courting couples in black silhouette walking in a romantic woodland. Each trio is in good condition with no chips or cracks.
Dimensions: The cups are 2 3/4 inches in height and 2 3/4 inches in diameter at the rim. The saucer is 5 1/2 inches in diameter. The side plate is 7 inches in diameter.
