Manufacturer: Mintons China
Nifty vintage demitasse cup & saucer set, a two piece set. Made by Mintons in England in their Rose pattern, #A4807.
Both pieces have printed marks on the underside bases with the Mintons globe & crown insignia, with "England" also printed underneath on the cup and impressed nearby on the saucer. The pattern designation number is hand painted nearby in red on both pieces, with also the number "24" which may indicate the person who applied the hand painted touches. From some internet research, this Mintons mark was used by Minton from 1912-1950, with the word England inclusion said to show they would have been made in the earlier time frame, but we don't know exactly when.
Lovely multicolored pattern with floral swags and a geometric type border near the rim. This decor appears on the topside of the saucer and outside of the cup. The cup interior has the geometric band near the top rim with a floral group on the interior base. The flowers include larger pink roses and other flowers.
The base bone china is solid white in color and is porcelain, as it is translucent. The round saucer has a lower center circle with upturned sides, measuring about 4 1/4 inches in diameter and sitting 5/8 inch in height. The cup bows outward for the upper two thirds and slims towards the base, measuring about 2 1/16 inches in height, with a nicely curved handle on one side. Greatest width with the handle is about 2 7/8 inches, with a top opening diameter of 2 1/4 inches and a smaller base diameter of 1 5/16 inches. Together the two pieces sit about 2 1/4 inches in height and weigh 4.4 ounces unpacked.
We've provided multiple images to show from varied angles including manufacturer markings. Please note that the camera lighting causes white "hot spot" reflections on the smooth glossy surfaces. Pleaase use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Wonderful overall condition with no major chips, cracks, crazing or large flaws. We do note a minor low chip on the underside base rim of the saucer on which it sits. You can see this slightly in the last image showing that mark but it's nothing to worry about. The underside base of the cup is fine but shows expected darkening from age. These pieces look largely unused, clean and bright. We see a few minor scratches on the topside of the saucer when held at an angle in bright light, not bad, likely from handling and cleaning over the years. The brown trim on the topside of the cup and outer handle shows a few tiny pin dots of white which may be touches of wear or how this was originally painted, we don't know, but again not bad.
Attractive cup & saucer set ready to display or use for an elegant teatime.
