This vintage porcelain cup was made by ESD Japan and hand painted in the mid-20th century. The design is inspired by French Rococo style, featuring a romantic courting couple in a pastoral scene framed with ornate gold scrollwork. The turquoise blue ground, gold accents, and unique pedestal base give it a refined look.
A lovely collectible for display, or a charming addition to your vintage porcelain collection.
