This beautiful sugar pot is a masterpiece from the "Sutherland" series by Melba China, produced in the UK in the 1940s. It is a masterpiece that combines the elegance and practicality of the British ceramics industry during the post-war reconstruction period, and continues to be loved by many collectors today.

The elegant white porcelain base is decorated with a striking deep navy blue and vibrant orange-red color scheme. The rim is adorned with delicate gold, a style characteristic of traditional British ceramics, giving the piece an elegant finish. The floral motif within the circular medallion incorporates a typical design element beloved in British homes of the time, creating an elegant design that inherits the aesthetic sense of the Victorian era.

The smooth white porcelain interior beautifully stores sugar without damaging its texture, and the spout is designed for practicality. Even now, more than 80 years later, the lustrous luster of the glaze and vivid colors remain, testament to the high level of craftsmanship of the time. The maker's mark is clearly visible on the bottom, proving its authenticity and enhancing its value as an antique.
