This set was made for a family by the name of Moffat, who likely hailed from a town by the same name in Scotland. The pieces are decorated with thistle, an emblem of Scotland, and the motto "Ready, Aye, Ready" is the town motto meaning, well, yes, they are ready.
This offer is for four cups and saucers, six bread sized plates, and four salad/dessert plates. There is also a small creamer and two candlesticks - one of which has been repaired.
Otherwise, the set is in very good antique condition. The maker, Nautilus, was regarded in its time as on par with the best porcelain manufacturers in the world.
