Queen Anne porcelain refers to a brand of fine bone china tableware produced in England primarily during the mid-20th century. 

The brand name "Queen Anne" was introduced in the late 1940s by the English pottery company Shore & Coggins Ltd, which operated at their Edensor Works. In 1966, the Shore & Coggins factory closed, but the "Queen Anne" brand name was retained by the larger Ridgway Potteries group, which continued to use it for bone china production through the 1980s. The Ridgway Group was later acquired by Royal Doulton.

The pieces are made from fine English bone china, known for its delicate appearance and durability. The designs often featured graceful floral patterns, such as roses and violets, and were frequently finished with gold trim, appealing to a post-war taste for elegance and tradition. Queen Anne china is considered vintage, with production dates typically ranging from the 1950s and 1960s. Collectors value the pieces for their craftsmanship, condition, and specific patterns. The harlequin (mixed pastel colours) tea sets, like those in the image, are popular examples.

The set is in very good vintage condition apart from one blue cup that has a hairline (please see picture). The set consists of 2 blue cups and 4 blue saucers, 2 green cups and saucers, 1 pink cup and saucer.

These are standard cups and saucer sizes.
