Product description and features

This mini teacup and saucer set is from the "Gold Dowry" series by Aynsley, a prestigious British porcelain manufacturer. The back is engraved with a crown mark and what appears to be a production number, a testament to its quality.

The gold decoration on the pure white bone china truly expresses the essence of British ceramic art. A delicate band of patterns runs around the rim of the cup, and below that is an elegant garland of festoons and medallions. The saucer also has a similar design, creating a beautiful, unified set.

The elegance created by the contrast between the brilliance of the gold and the white porcelain is reminiscent of teatime enjoyed by British aristocrats. Though it is a miniature teacup, it is crafted with the same careful attention to detail as a regular teacup, and the elegant gold handle has a graceful curve that fits comfortably in the hand. It is a highly valued collector's item.
