Andrea by Sadek Fine Bone China Tea Cup and Saucer Set

This is a vintage fine bone china tea cup and matching saucer produced by Andrea by Sadek. The set features a classic white translucent body with a tapered tea cup silhouette and a traditional flared saucer. The exterior is decorated with a vibrant botanical motif consisting of purple and blue grapes, accented by lush green foliage and delicate pink floral sprigs. The rim of both the cup and the saucer is finished with a hand-applied gold-toned gilt banding, which adds a decorative elegance common in 20th-century ceramic ware. The handle of the cup (partially obscured) appears to be a standard ear-shape, likely also accented with gilding. Although the manufacturer's mark is not visible in the photograph, the user-supplied context identifies it as Andrea by Sadek, a company known for importing high-quality Japanese porcelain since 1936. The style suggests a late 20th-century production, characterized by high-gloss glazing and crisp decal application. The overall condition appears good with no visible cracks or large chips, though a blue ribbon is currently being used to secure the pieces together, necessitating closer inspection for minor surface scratches or gilding wear once removed. The craftsmanship displays the delicate thinness and translucency associated with bone china, indicating a higher quality of household decorative arts.
