Floral porcelain teacup and saucer
Estimated Value
$10-$35
A delicate white porcelain teacup with matching saucer, decorated with blue and green floral motifs and accented with gold gilt bands along the rim and foot. The cup has a flared form with a curved handle and a matching saucer with coordinated floral decoration and scrolling gilt ornament. The style suggests a decorative tea service piece rather than a high-end hand-painted antique porcelain set. The visible mark or monogram on the cup is unclear and may be a maker's mark, pattern mark, or decorative initial.
