Antique Scalloped Edge Porcelain Cup and Saucer

This item is an antique porcelain cup and saucer set, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The set is crafted from fine white porcelain or bone china, featuring a delicate floral transferware pattern with yellow and pink roses and green foliage. The saucer has a distinctive deep-fluted, scalloped edge, while the cup is tall with straight, slightly tapered sides. The interior and exterior of the cup, as well as the top surface of the saucer, are decorated with a repetitive floral band. A notable feature is the gilded or bronzed rim, which shows signs of significant age-related wear and fading. The condition appears fair to good for its age, exhibiting some surface staining in the bottom of the cup and general wear to the decorative elements. The style is characteristic of Victorian or Edwardian tableware, often produced in European centers like Limoges or Staffordshire. The high-quality translucency of the porcelain and the precision of the fluting indicate professional craftsmanship. No visible maker's marks are shown in this view, but the set reflects the high-detail aesthetics of historic tea service sets.
