Lot #38: Cosmopolitan Picnic with Coalport "Hunting Scene" Tea Set

First, spread out the vintage lace tablecloth, 74" X 58". Then open the hand-signed and dated Longaberger lined basket, 13" sq X 7"H, and pull out the French napkins, 5 blue and 6 yellow, plus a yellow runner, and start your picnic. Options for serving ware include a Coalport "Hunting Scene" tea set with lidded  teapot, 2 cups, sugar dish and creamer, all hand-painted with horses and riders and hounds, all in excellent condition. (We're pulling for the fox!) Also an antique Sadler teapot, minus its lid, handpainted with rose and sunny yellow flowers and detailed in gilt. Sadler was founded in 1882, and was one of many Stoke-on-Trent potteries. This piece has some crazing, as expected, but no chips. A signed and numbered Gene Boyer commemorative plate from 1983 shows Johnny Appleseed planting a seed while a young girl holds out an apple; a Raymond Waites serving plate with palm tree and royal crest on deep orange ground; 3 small dishes from Cypress; and a signed and dated plate from Don Sheffler for Avon, featuring a dockside scene. All in very good condition. Bring packing materials.
