Burgess and Leigh are highly collectible manufacturers producing beautiful, often unusual designs. Burgess & Leigh could be found in Burslem, England from 1862 to 1867. In 1867 they took the earthenware department of Hill Pottery and then from 1899 moved to the Middleport Works which were purpose built for them. This is marked to the saucer's base with the Burgess & Leigh makers stamp, dating it effectively from between 1906 and 1912.

Condition:
Great overall condition for its years. With bright fresh colours and minimal loss to pattern. There is some very subtle wear to small areas of the the gilt on its handle but this is only visible under extreme scrutiny along with a little age related crazing to its glaze. Both the cup and saucer are damage free

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear'. We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using the zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description.

Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
