A heavenly pair of delicate and tiny demitasse cups made by Paragon of England in the 1930's. Back-stamped with the double warrant of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth (later the queen mother). In a midnight blue with a deco gold design that reminiscent of Van Gogh's starry nights. Gilt handles. The cups are in excellent vintage condition and look as though they have been never been used. When turned at some angles some of the gold momentarily flashes blue, probably from oxidation. These are lovely to display but would also make a lovely gift for the expresso drinker in your life.
Discovered by the Wandering Poetess at an estate sale in Greenwich, CT.
Measurements: Cups are just under 2 inches high, and in diameter. Saucer is 3.25 inches inches in diameter.
Condition: Excellent vintage with no cracks or damage. Under certain angles some of the stars exhibit luminous blue flash which is probably from the heavy gilt oxidizing over time. It is only visible from certain angles and also does not detract from the sheer enchantment of these cups.
