Antique Hand-Painted Porcelain Demitasse Cups

A pair of antique demitasse cups, each measuring approximately 2.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height. These cups are crafted from fine porcelain and feature delicate hand-painted floral designs, including a prominent rose on one cup and a lighter pink floral motif on the other, accented with green leaves. The rims are trimmed with a subtle gold detail, and the bases have a distinctive scalloped edge with small, claw-like feet. The overall aesthetic suggests a Victorian or Edwardian era origin, likely produced in Europe or Japan for the export market. The craftsmanship indicates a skilled artist, with fine brushwork and a pleasing color palette.

These demitasse cups are likely part of a larger tea or coffee set, designed for serving small portions of strong coffee or espresso after a meal. Their diminutive size and elegant decoration make them suitable for display as decorative collectibles or for use in a formal tea setting. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious chips or significant wear visible in the provided images, though a thorough inspection would be needed to confirm.
