English? Tea set

[Diggincoinz]

Hi, posting for my wife this time. We know it's a tea set, but that's all we know about it. She picked it up at an auction years ago in a box for just $1.

There's two differant size plates, tea cup, tea pot, creamer, a platter, and little mini platter shaped plates only about 3 inches long. Four or five differant designs and everything has gold trim. It's a nice tea set.

The images are Scottish; the flower is a thistle, Scotland's national emblem. "Burns" refers to Robert Burns, Scottish poet.

A small, independent manufacturer of bone china, much less well known than the international names, and consequently very good value. Duchess have been making bone china for one hundred years in Staffordshire. The prices are half those of more well-known makes, yet it retains the unmatched lightness and translucency of the bone china body developed in Stoke-on Trent.

For hundredes of years the Trassachs was a small wooded glen. By 1950 (Colmbia Encyclopedia), the Trassachs was defined as a mile long glen. Over the intervening years the name now refers to a much wider area. Loch Lomond forms the westerly boundary of the Trassachs. The Trassachs are associated with Rob Roy. More history of the Trassachs can be found here:

My bad spelling above.
Adding more to Burns: Robert Burns (long deceased) is the national poet of Scotland. Perhaps his most famous work he is today credited with writing is the New Year's Eve/Day song 'Auld Lang Syne' (very loosely translated to mean 'times gone by').
