Start price: £3

Estimated price: £3 - £5

Buyer's Premium: 20%

A set of porcelain demitasse cups and saucers, likely intended for espresso or coffee service. Each cup features a rounded bowl with a slightly flared rim and an ornate, gilded open-loop handle. The matching saucers are designed with a scalloped “pie-crust” rim. The set is decorated with a floral motif featuring pink and yellow roses amongst green foliage, likely applied through transfer printing with hand-painted gilt highlights. The rims of both the cups and saucers are heavily gilded, and the saucers further feature stylized gold foliate patterns interspersed between the floral sprays. The porcelain body is a translucent white. No maker’s marks are visible on the upper surfaces, and the undersides have not been inspected.
