Description
A collection of porcelain tableware in the Lyre Green pattern by Mintons. The set is crafted from cream-coloured porcelain featuring a classical revival decorative theme in green. The central motif consists of a stylised harp or lyre within a laurel wreath border, tied with a bow at the top. Each piece is finished with hand-painted gilt accents to the rims and handles. The collection comprises tea cups, saucers, large circular plates, medium circular plates, and small circular plates. The base of one piece bears a pink printed backstamp consisting of a crown surmounting a globe within a laurel wreath, with the characters MINTONS inside the globe, EST 1793 below, and ENGLAND to the right. Hand-painted iron-red pattern numbers reading 5107 and the letter E are also present on the underside.
Condition report:

Another tea cup shows a smaller brown spot on the interior wall (photo 3). General surface dust and light marks are present across the collection.
