Title: Hazel Thumpston for Foley, Bone China
Post by: David on August 09, 2007, 12:09:44 PM
Attached are two candlesticks I picked up after encouragement from Pip! 8)

Designed by Hazel Thumpston, for Foley, in the Aurora pattern and made in bone china. I believe these were produced in conjunction with the Festival Pattern Group, judging from the crystal structure design. This should date them between 1949 and 1953.

Twee things: just 7cm across and 3cm tall and the legs are incredibly fragile.

I don't normally do 'cute' but the style and design caught my eye. Very pleased with them  8)
