Booths real old willow was manufactured over a long period of production which spanned both World Wars. Most was characterised by the rich and thick rim detailing in gold. These pieces were manufactured in a period of post war austerity without gilt. The teacup base plate diameter is 1.75-inch and the saucer well diameter is 2-inches which is characteristic of Booths sets (the cups never fit the saucer well snuggly) and goes someway to explaining why intact sets are so rare.
