Description
A charming vintage Avon Ware tea set, comprising three matching pieces — teapot, creamer jug, and sugar bowl — beautifully decorated with raised floral motifs in soft pastel tones of mint green, peach, lavender, and cream.
The sculptural relief flowers and flowing foliage give this set a wonderfully tactile, almost Art Deco feel, while the gentle colour palette keeps it light, elegant, and unmistakably English. A perfect display set for a dresser, tea tray, or cottage-style interior, and equally appealing to collectors of Avon Ware or vintage British ceramics.
All three pieces match perfectly and have been stored together for many years.
Maker & History – Avon Ware
Avon Ware was produced in England by Kennedy Ltd of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, a respected pottery firm active throughout the early to mid-20th century. The Avon Ware range became especially popular between the 1930s and 1950s, known for its decorative moulded relief designs, pastel glazing, and approachable elegance.
Unlike fine bone china, Avon Ware pieces were designed to be both decorative and practical, making them a staple of British homes. Today, they are increasingly sought after for their nostalgic charm, distinctive textures, and unmistakable mid-century character.

Did You Know?
Avon Ware relief pieces were often moulded in multiple layers, meaning each flower and leaf was individually formed before glazing — one of the reasons these sets have such depth, texture, and lasting visual appeal compared to flat transfer-printed wares.
