Minton Cobalt Blue & Gold Encrusted Demitasse Cups & Saucers

Porcelain : Minton : Gold Encrusted

 

What a gorgeous pattern! These beautiful porcelain cobalt blue and gold demitasse cups and saucers are stamped with the Minton crown and wreath stamp used from 1912 to about the mid 1940's. The photos show the blue differently on some pieces due to the camera flash. However, the blues all match and are a deep cobalt blue. The cups and saucers are in excellent condition for their age, but two cups have slight discoloration on the interior. One cup has a tight ,teeny (less than .25") hairline crack at the rim that does not go through to the outside. There is no loss to the gorgeous gold bands or handles. The white spots in the photos are light reflections - not damage. I have not been able to identify the pattern. Each piece has the artist marks on the bottom, although some are very faint. Here is your chance to add to your old china pattern or start a new one.
