Porcelain teacup and saucer with hand-painted floral decoration
History
This teacup and saucer appears to be from the early to mid-20th century, likely produced by an English pottery manufacturer during the 1920s-1940s. The hand-painted floral motif featuring colorful blossoms in red, yellow, blue, and green reflects the popular Art Deco and cottage-style decorative trends of that era. Such pieces were commonly produced for everyday use in British households and as part of tea services. Vintage English teacups and saucers are highly sought after by collectors of fine china, tea enthusiasts, and those who appreciate nostalgic tableware. These pieces appeal to collectors for their craftsmanship, historical charm, and the romantic tradition of afternoon tea culture. The floral decoration and delicate porcelain work make them desirable display pieces and functional collectibles that connect owners to a genteel era of British social customs.
