White Ceramic Demi-tasse Cup with Green Foliate Pattern

This item is a small, handled cup, likely a demi-tasse cup or espresso cup, crafted from white ceramic or porcelain. The primary decoration consists of a wide band of olive green (or perhaps a muted chartreuse) ornamentation circling the upper portion of the cup, just below the rim. This pattern features intricate, scrolling foliage and C-scroll motifs with small dots, often associated with a damask or brocade textile pattern, suggesting a classic or perhaps even a Regency or Victorian inspired design. The top edge of this decorative band is finished with a scalloped or undulating line, and the bottom edge with a dotted line. The handle is a simple, C-shaped loop, integrated seamlessly into the cup's body, colored in the same plain white as the rest of the cup. The cup appears to be mass-produced, given the uniform finish and molded handle. The glaze has a subtle sheen, indicating it is not matte. There are no immediate visible chips or cracks on the primary cup in focus, suggesting good overall condition. However, a potential hairline crack is hinted at in one of the close-up crops, extending vertically from the decorated band towards the rim, which would impact its value. The foot of the cup is a simple, unadorned ring. The overall quality appears to be domestic ware, well-made for its purpose, but not necessarily fine porcelain. The 'Made in England' context points to a likely manufacturing origin in the United Kingdom, possibly mid-20th century, given the handle style and typical patterns of that era for every-day use.
