What products did Chelsea make for the tea table?

Chelsea produced a wide range of teaware, including cups, saucers, creamers, sugar bowls and small sweet dishes. Factory summaries mention replication of Asian export styles and European trends, giving buyers a familiar look in their homes. Anchor date ranges help to identify the origin of many teaware, and painted motifs can hint at a particular period, Kakiemon-inspired arrangements, vivid flowers, bird images and gilded edges appear in different years. Because teaware was used daily, damage accumulates around the edges and handles, so a matching cup and saucer set with original gilding and no cracks can be worth more than a single saucer.
