Shipping Information
We ship orders within 2 business days using USPS or UPS. If you choose local pickup, we’ll contact you via email or text to arrange a convenient meeting spot, such as the Perry library, Perry Post Office, or Lowe’s on 96.
All shipments include a tracking number. Fragile items larger than 5 inches are double-boxed to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. We use packing paper, bubble wrap, and lots of tape, and sometimes packing peanuts or expanding foam inserts, to protect your purchases.
Add sparkle to your vintage and antique teacup and saucer with this iridescent blue demitasse cup and saucer set. Handpainted gilt flourishes frame the transferware roses. The heavy gilt inside the quatrefoil-shaped cup makes the interior gleam like a mirror. (Yes, that's my phone reflected in one of the photos.) The reticulated saucer takes this already extra cup to the next level.
This delicate beauty is unmarked but identical to sets marked "Royal Ainsley 7704." Yes, that's spelled correctly. From what I understand, Royal Ainsley was a 1950s export from Japan. One of their cups appears in the Japanese section of Harran's third book, but there's little available about the company beyond that. If you have any information about them, please share.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no cracks, chips, or crazing. There are minimal wear marks on the bottom, but the gilt shows no signs of wear.
Care: Handwash. It does spot, so dry the inside of the cup completely with a soft towel. I like microfiber. Otherwise, the inside will have more spots than a Dalmatian. See photos.
