Porcelain teacup and saucer with green trim and gold accents

History

This style of porcelain teacup and saucer with delicate green trim and gold decoration became popular in the early to mid-20th century, reflecting the refined tastes of the era. Such pieces were often produced by European and American manufacturers as part of formal dinnerware sets for afternoon tea service. The cream-colored body with mint green borders and gold embellishments represents the elegant aesthetic favored in both domestic and fine dining settings during this period. Teacups and saucers like this appeal to collectors of vintage tableware, tea enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century decorative arts. These pieces are valued for their craftsmanship, nostalgic charm, and the growing interest in traditional tea culture. Collectors often seek complete sets or matching pieces to display or use for special occasions, making individual cups and saucers desirable additions to china collections.
