Deep geometric cutting creates a faceted, almost jewel-like pattern through the bowl, while the base finishes in a radiating star cut. Broad gilt decoration wraps the upper cup, joined by a gleaming gold handle and fine gold rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching clear glass saucers provide a particularly pretty contrast, worked in a sweeping pinwheel pattern that catches the light beneath each cup and finished with a gold border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether they have exactly the sort of unapologetically elegant look that belonged on a well-stocked drinks trolley or brought out after dinner — small, sparkling and rather more interesting than an ordinary coffee service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWORTH NOTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete service for six: \u003cstrong\u003e6 demitasse cups + 6 matching saucers, 12 pieces total.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo maker's mark or surviving label is visible in the photographs, and we have therefore left the maker unattributed rather than assigning the set to one of several manufacturers that produced similar gilt crystal services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCups approximately 2.25\" high × 2.25\" diameter at rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaucers approximately 4.5\" diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements are approximate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-owned vintage condition.
