Wonderful, highly collectable Wileman Foley trio in the 'Dolly Varden' pattern dating to latter half of 19th century. No chips or major cracks and all pieces ring true, even the saucer despite a couple of faint brown hairlines on the centre well. Please see the photos. The pattern was inspired by a character in one of Charles Dickens' novel. Barnaby Rudge. Dolly Varden is the locksmith's coquettish daughter whose dress of flowered dimity (a type of cotton material) gave her name to a 19th century woman's outfit.
