Offered is a nine-piece antique Wedgwood dinnerware set.
The pattern "Japonica Sprigs" is the striking best feature.

Lovely finishing touch with turquoise rims.

The set can be used for dinner parties or displayed beautifully in a china cabinet.

it eventually became an essential part of a highly profitable business.
