Description
A footed bone china cup and scalloped saucer — cobalt flowers, gold berries and filigree, and a polished gold handle.
Product Story
Bone china fires thinner and whiter than standard porcelain, which is why the cup feels light in the hand and the cobalt-and-gold decoration reads so crisply against the body.
The pattern is built in passes: cobalt florals first, then the gold berries and vines, then the filigree border tucked under the blue rim line. The scalloped saucer repeats the floral spray around its edge.

- Polished gold-tone handle and gold lines around the foot
- Approx. 6.8 oz — sized for afternoon tea rather than a mug-size pour

The Making
The pattern is built in passes: cobalt florals first, then the gold berries and vines, then the filigree border tucked under the blue rim line. The scalloped saucer repeats the floral spray around its edge.
Care
Hand wash only. The gold trim must never go in a microwave, and dishwasher detergent will dull it over time. If you stack the cup on the saucer for storage, place a cloth between them.
This is an afternoon-tea cup, not a mug — about 6.8 oz, so espresso drinks and gongfu-style pours suit it best. The gold is real metallic trim: hand wash only and never microwave it. The scalloped saucer doubles nicely as a jewellery dish if the cup ever retires.
