Here is a pristine raised-paste 22-karat gold service from the storied firm of Minton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire England. The set features the timeless laurel motif, first used thousands of years ago in Greek art. To the ancient Greeks the laurel wreath was a symbol of victory, honor and peace, and hence they crowned their olympic champions with them.

The design features tangential laurel leaves circumnavigating the plate in 22-karat gold on a cream rim. The laurel motif is echoed in acid-etched 22-karat gold bands around both the plate well and plate rim for a truly elegant service.

The set includes dinner, salad and bread plates, as well as teacups and saucers. An extra teacup and saucer is included for 62 pieces total. Made for Shreve, Crump & Low and Company, Boston, a luxury store similar to Tiffany's, who also sold Minton gilded china.
