This espresso cup and saucer were made in England, sometime after 1947 per the markings. The set is in like-new vintage condition with no chips, cracks or wear on gold, and the signature (number) is still clear. Cup is about 2.75” tall, saucer approx. 6” diameter.
I lovingly refer to these as the ‘Miami Vice’ teacup set, because I can picture some drug lord's wife sipping from it while Crockett and Tubbs question the bad guy. But beyond hearing “In the Air Tonight” play in my mind when I found them… they also have that special something that perfect pairs of antique items possess after not only surviving space and time beautifully, but also managing to stay together.
