1882 Royal Crown Derby single coffee demitasse duo, Imari pattern #524. 

Dimensions:
Cup stands 5.5 cm tall and spans 7.5 cm from outer edge of cup to outer edge of handle.
Saucer has 10.5 cm diameter. 

Gloriously presented in the hand painted Imari colourways, this set also includes some less common green highlights. 

The saucer bears the impressed Derby cypher along with the hand painted dot code, hand painted pattern number and the RCD cypher. 

The cup bears the hand painted pattern number and the RCD cypher. 

There are no chips, cracks, repairs, restoration or damage that I can identify though there are some very minor ink spots from the hand painting process, very typical of the period technology and size of the pieces. 

A very handsome set which displays beautifully and typical of this fabulous producer which alas is no longer in production.

Please note: this listing is for the sale of ONE duo set, the main image is to show the 4 identical sets which I have listed separately as a group.
