The body of this trio is of a circular shape with vertical moulded fluting.

The decoration of the body of the trio is of an applied gold Etruscan border, a design quite synonymous with the English Regency period of the early nineteenth century. This pattern is also sometimes referred too as the 'Greek Key' pattern. It is listed in the patterns of the Chamberlain Worcester factory as 'Hambleton, gold Etruscan border'. This design is quite striking in appearance especially with the very rich honey coloured gilding.

The teacup is a shape known as the 'Bute' shape and has a fluted body and a loop shaped handle.

The gold Etruscan border is applied around the top portion of the cup in the rich honey colourer gold. There is a gilded rim and a gilded line round the base of the cup.

The elegant loop handle is typical of this early nineteenth century period and is embellished with golden edges and a central gilded line round the back of the handle.

The underside of the cup is marked in gold with the Chamberlain pattern number 354.

The coffee can is a straight sided shape and has a fluted body and a loop shaped handle like the tea cup.

The gold Etruscan border is applied around the top portion of the can in the rich honey colourer gold. There is a gilded rim and a gilded line round the base of the can.

The elegant loop handle is typical of this early nineteenth century period and is embellished with golden edges and a central gilded line round the back of the handle.

The underside of the can is marked in puce with the Chamberlain pattern number 354.

The saucer of the trio has the same fluted body and gold Etruscan border decoration. The centre portion of the saucer has a gilded circle.

There is no pattern number on the base of the saucer.
