Dealers and collectors pursue this lot for resale as matched vintage sets or for estate liquidation, especially given the documented provenance and period style.

Description from HiBid
Two complete Bohemia Donatello porcelain tea place settings, each with cup, saucer, and dinner plate in soft aqua glaze with gold trim.
All pieces are hand-inscribed "Rillie Hockaday 1926" on the underside, adding period provenance and a personal historical touch.
Dinner plates measure about 9 inches across, saucers about 6 inches, and cups roughly 3 inches wide and 2 inches tall; measurements taken from tape in photos and are approximate.
Aqua ground has a subtle lustre interior on the cups and a smooth satin exterior, complemented by wide gold bands on rims and handles in a classic 1920s style.
Gold trim shows scattered wear, rubbing, and small losses around rims and handles consistent with age and light use; see close-up photos for the worst spots.
Glaze surfaces show minor utensil marks and small production imperfections, but no obvious cracks or major chips were seen during visual inspection.
Backstamps are clear: Bohemia Donatello Czecho-Slowakia marks on cups and saucers, and a matching green mark on plates; underside photos document each mark.
This lot sells as shown: two cups, two saucers, and two dinner plates together as a single bidding unit-pieces will not be split.
Vintage porcelain is fragile; use care at pickup, and note that any available shipping may include extra packing and handling charges.
Please review all photos and auction terms before bidding; this estate porcelain lot sells as-is
