The cups are in flower designs with striking color backgrounds. The two identical sets show daisies on bright blue with green and purple touches and raised gold moriage-type trim. The outsides of these cups are white porcelain with gold trim on all edges and the handle. The saucers follow the same exact motif and mode of execution. The accumulative effect is mesmerizing and sure to make tea addicts out of the drinkers who must see the cups and saucers again and again to feast their eyes!<p>

The cups are 2 inches high and 4 inches across with a 1 3/4-inch footed base (the foot itself is 1/2 inch). The saucers are 5 1/2 inches in diameter with a slight curvature to the edge as it goes around.<p>

The third cup and saucer set is very similar to the other two. In a wild rose design on a black background, it is pink, purple, and green with white and yellow touches, again detailed in the raised moriage trim. Again, the contrast between design and background is stark and beautiful.<p>
