They are in remarkably great shape ranging from a single chip on one piece to the rest in outstanding condition. Surprisingly, there are no signs of use or wear. Details for each follows.The mid-century Larkspur line has a pretty underglaze pattern of pink and blue flowers with brown leaves on shiny cream-color background. Light brown trim edges the rims.This listing is for pieces remaining and includes:1 Teapot with Lid - 5 1/2” tall, 5-cup capacity / No cracks, crazing or scratches – but there is a chip on the spout that\'s easy to miss since the cream glaze and pottery under it are nearly the same color.
