Read the excerpt from "Early Victorian Tea Set" by Neil
MacGregor
This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware
of a sort that many quite modest British households were
then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set
must have had serious social aspirations, because all three
pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy
hallmarked silver. The historian Celina Fox explains that
tea-time had become a very smart event:
In the 1840s the Duchess of Bedford introduces the
ritual of afternoon tea, because by this time dinner
had become so late, seven-thirty to eight o'clock, that
it was a bit of a gap for the British tummy between
lunchtime and evening. For a while there was a revival
of tea-drinking, as a sort of meal for sandwiches and
so forth, around four o'clock.
