Antique, demitasse china cup, saucer, and cake plate (a trio) made by Minton in 1881. This lovely piece, crafted of translucent bone china, glazed in a soft matt yellow, and hand-painted with a botanical design is typical of the aesthetic movement. Stamped Minton to the base of the cake plate with the date marks for September 1881. The cup and saucer are not marked. The cup is incredibly fine-- note how the light falls through it in the photograph.
Condition: Very good. No cracks or crazing but there is rubbing to the gilt around the handle and around each rim (cup, saucer, and plate). This has resulted in a little roughness under finger around the saucer, particularly in one spot. This could be a slight flake but I believe it is a glazing flaw.
Measurements:
CUP: 2.5" high, 2.75" in width across brim.
SAUCER: 4.88" in diameter
CAKE PLATE: 6" in diameter.
A beautiful, delicate set, found by The Wandering Poetess in South Africa.
