The R.H. \u0026amp; S.L. Plant company, producers of Tuscan China, were known for highquality fine bone china in the Staffordshire region. Gemma and Florentine China were similarly active in producing souvenir porcelain for the mass market, each offering smallscale collectibles marked with town or city crests. These items were often displayed in cabinets or gifted during holidays and are now sought after by collectors of English heraldic ware.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Why Add This Set to Your Collection?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tRepresents three iconic English towns with detailed crests\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tExcellent example of early 20thcentury souvenir ware\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tIncludes jugs by recognized Staffordshire porcelain makers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tIdeal for collectors of Gossware, heraldic china, or English travel memorabilia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604951200091,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_fd1fbff1-6d0b-4440-9aae-f9e91a513329.png?v=1773692115","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/tuscan-gemma-chine-crested-ware-trio-mini-vases-jugs-collectible-antique-decor","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
