A stunning Victorian-era porcelain teacup and saucer set featuring a unique apricot-to-cream gradient (ombre) glaze. Both pieces are beautifully hand-painted with detailed clusters of purple violets and pink roses.
The teacup is designed with a sophisticated scalloped "petal" shape and a high-arched ornate handle with heavy gold gilt accents. A premium feature of this set is the interior decoration, with floral sprays painted inside the cup. This set is a perfect addition to a Cottagecore or Grandmillennial style collection.
Condition Report
I pride myself on meticulous condition reporting. Please see below:
Structure: Excellent antique condition. There are no chips, cracks, or crazing.
Gilding: There is a very small amount of gold loss on the inner ring of the saucer where the cup sits. Light, age-appropriate wear is visible on the gold gilt of the rim and handle.
Surface: The hand-painted florals are vibrant and the unique tinted glaze is well-preserved with a soft satin finish.
Markings: This set is unmarked, which is characteristic of high-quality late 19th-century export porcelain.
