A rare mid 19th Century Chinese export Chinoiserie iron-red and blue dragon pattern part dinner service – CCS1648

A rare mid 19th Century Chinese export Chinoiserie iron-red and blue transfer-printed dragon pattern, part dinner service, having several English copies with Pseudo Chinese marks.

The dinner set has an interesting twist! Would have had several pieces broken, the wealthy owner must have taken the originals to say, the Staffordshire factory and had the set re-built.
