Antique Booths 'Old Dutch Peacock' China 26-Piece Dinner Service
About the Item
This exquisite antique dinner service by Booths features the coveted Old Dutch Peacock pattern — a richly detailed chinoiserie design that blends English craftsmanship with Eastern-inspired motifs. The central scene depicts a regal peacock perched amid lush florals and pagoda-like arches, rendered in vibrant shades of cobalt blue, deep red, forest green, and ochre. The ornate border — a flourish of scrollwork, lattice, and blossoms — frames the central vignette beautifully, adding an extra layer of texture and rhythm.
What makes this service truly unique is its arresting balance of boldness and elegance. The color palette is rare and sophisticated, and each plate is subtly nuanced by hand-applied overglaze enamel touches, making every piece slightly one-of-a-kind. While it dates to the early 1900s, the design is timeless — equally at home in a traditional table setting or layered into a modern collector’s cabinet.
Booths was a respected Staffordshire maker known for high-quality ironstone and china wares, and this pattern — inspired by 18th-century oriental export porcelain — reflects the Edwardian era’s fascination with global design. It captures the romance of the East through a distinctly British lens, with craftsmanship that has aged gracefully over the past century.
Whether you’re a serious collector or simply drawn to storied tableware, this set is both functional and conversation-worthy. A rare find in such fine condition, it speaks to a time when everyday objects were made with extraordinary care.

Booths 'Nankin' Floral Bowls – Whieldon Ware Set of 3
By Booth's
Located in Worcester Park, GB
This vibrant floral bowl is a striking example of early 20th-century English transferware at its finest. What sets the 'Nankin' pattern apart is its exuberant border of hand-tinted blooms in vivid pinks, yellows, and cornflower blues, offset by ornate scrollwork. The design is at once lively and elegant — capturing the essence of English country charm while echoing the chinoiserie influences that inspired many early transferware patterns.
Crafted by Booths Ltd., a respected pottery firm based in Stoke-on-Trent, this bowl hails from a time when utility and artistry were perfectly entwined. The attention to detail — from the clarity of the transfer pattern to the hand-coloring — reflects a level of craftsmanship that’s increasingly rare. It's not just a bowl, but a slice of design history with practical beauty and enduring value. Whether used or displayed, it elevates the everyday.
Imagine a garden party in bloom, captured on porcelain. This medium-sized bowl has a creamy white base encircled by a riot of florals, delicately outlined and filled with rich, jewel-toned hues. The florals are framed by an intricate teal scroll border that adds a refined finish. It has a subtle gloss, a graceful profile, and just the right amount of vintage patina to show it’s lived a life well-loved.
