Antique French Sarreguemines Mesa Hot Chocolate Cup

This terre de fer hot chocolate cup, made by Sarreguemines at the turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries, ticks all the right boxes for me. It is stunning with the most gorgeous floral pattern and lots of worn rustic charm.

The printed botanical floral pattern is in the Mesa pattern. This blends with toasty stained colouring to both the inside and outside of the cup, plus a small chip and a couple of cracks. Although it is in chippy condition, this adds to its timeworn charm and it has an entirely unique patina.
