A beautifully boxed pair of Wedgwood bone china teacups and saucers from the celebrated Millennium Collection, produced in 1999 to commemorate the close of the 20th century. This set, titled The 20th Century: Age of Progress & Peace, features finely detailed purple and gilt decoration incorporating key cultural, architectural and historical moments of the century.
Each cup is richly illustrated with motifs ranging from the Brandenburg Gate and the fall of the Berlin Wall, to landmark achievements in sport, culture and design – including instantly recognisable icons such as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and classic 20th-century architecture. The saucers carry a complementary radiating sunburst design framed within a scrolling lilac border and edged with fine gilt.
The set is presented in its original Wedgwood Millennium box with accompanying booklet and leaflet, making it a complete collectible example of this sought-after commemorative issue. A wonderful gift, display piece or addition to any Wedgwood, commemorative or design-focused collection.
