Shafford Fine China Rose Pattern Tea Cup and Saucer

This item is a Shafford Fine China tea cup and saucer set. The cup features a classic round bowl shape, with a slightly flared rim and a small, delicate foot. Both the cup and saucer are crafted from fine white porcelain, indicating a refined material often associated with quality tableware. The primary decorative motif on both pieces is a vibrant floral pattern, dominated by large, lush pink roses with accompanying green foliage and hints of yellow in the background. The roses appear to be in various stages of bloom, adding depth and naturalism to the design. A thin gold-colored rim accentuates the edge of the cup and the outer edge of the saucer, suggesting a touch of elegance and luxury. The cup's interior is plain white, providing a clean contrast to the decorated exterior. The saucer is dish-shaped, designed to cradle the cup securely. While specific dimensions are not provided, it appears to be a standard size for a teacup and saucer. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear, suggesting the set is in good to excellent condition. The gold trim appears intact, without significant fading or rubbing, which is a good indicator of careful handling or minimal use. The overall aesthetic points to an mid-20th century style, commonly found in collectible porcelain or china sets. The branding 'Shafford Fine China' confirms the manufacturer and material quality.
