This dainty demitasse cup and saucer are handpainted with exquisite detail. A gentlemen woos a lady with a song on his lute, while she offers him a bouquet of flowers. They are situated in a garden. On the saucer, this scene is surrounded by a band of cobalt blue with a gold pattern reminiscent of the style of Gustav Klimpt. Outside of that is a band of gold leaves or vines on white, and then another band of the blue with gold. The cup has the same scene, but even smaller; it is framed in raised gold, and repeats the blue and gold pattern of the saucer. Aside from the beauty of the painting and the brilliant colors, this cup has an unusual pedestalled shape, and the gold handle curls up beyond the lip. The size noted is for the cup, not including the handle. The saucer is 3 7/8s inches in diameter. The original gold label is on the bottom, and the numbers 6912. I only notice a very slight bit of wear on the gold of the handle. There is a miniscule nip on the base of the cup that appears to have occured in production, because the paint goes over it. This is a beautiful set. Please see my other cups & saucers for sale!
