I'm not sure how vintage they actually are ... the pattern itself commenced in 1951 and my research suggests what I found dates from somewhere between 1977 and 1996.
I was also shocked when I saw the price of a cup and saucer ... $18.95 a set when I got a set of four for the princely sum of $3!
Probably the best bargain I've ever found.

beautiful! nice research, too (always nice to know you got a bargain, isn't it?)
They are beautiful! Lucky you on a great find :)
ooh, pretty! I'm a sucker for buying teacups... but only ever use mugs. I really should stop...
These are timeless!!
Great buy!!
Yes, lovely cups and lovely photography!
my mother-in-law had this set - all of it and I think in the process of cleaning out her house one of her sons sent the lot to an oppie.
Well Done and gorgeous pic too ;)
I've always loved this design. I have a utensils holder in the same design given to me as a wedding present around 25 years ago. I think my was from copperart but there were others at the same time. Cherrie
What a lovely timeless design - and what a bargin:)
