Vintage Porcelain Demitasse Cup with Floral Design and Gilt Accents

This is a vintage porcelain demitasse cup, likely from the mid-20th century, characterized by its iridescent interior and exterior glaze, which exhibits a pearlescent sheen with subtle rainbow hues. The exterior is adorned with hand-painted purple floral motifs, possibly violets or pansies, interspersed with green foliage. A delicate gold band rims the top edge of the cup and the base. The handle is a distinctive double-loop design, also finished in gold, and the cup stands on three small, gilded feet. The overall aesthetic suggests a decorative piece, possibly intended for display or light use in a formal setting. The iridescent glaze is a notable feature, often associated with Art Nouveau or Art Deco inspired decorative arts, though its application here with floral painting might also point to earlier or later revivals of these styles. The cup's size indicates it's a demitasse, meant for espresso or strong coffee after a meal.
