Hand Painted French Espresso or Coffee Cup
Hand Painted French Espresso or Coffee Cup
This is a listing for ONE wonderful antique early 20th Century French coffee or espresso cup.
Available to purchase individually, these three ironstone coffee cups feature hand painted festive decorations which are reminiscent of holly and ivy.
Made of white earthenware pottery, the French maker's marks on their bases have now faded and I do not recognise them. But the style of the mark would date them to the early 20th Century. These have been used and loved over the years and therefore each of the cups do have wear. This is most notable on the top rims, where there are some nibbles and odd chips as well as some light staining. There are also some nibbles to the base rims. But there are no cracks and they are still highly decorative cups.
