Antique English Tea Cup & Saucer, Aesthetic Style, Hand Painted

  

CONDITION: Some wear to gold trim. It may have been Anysley, judging from the shape and the design. There are tiny hand painted numbers on the back of the saucer.

The saucer measures 5 3/8 inches in diameter. The cup is 2 5/8 inches high with a diameter of 2 5/8 inches. The ground color is light mint green.

Gold beaded cartouches contain landscape scenes done in monochrome shades of puce. They depict water, mountains and buildings.

The cartouches are hand gilded and are accented with raised enamel beads or jewels. There are gilded bands and trim on rims and handle. It is lovely for display. The Post Office requires this.
