Pfaltzgraff Tea Cup in Tea Rose Pattern

This is a vintage ceramic footed tea cup featuring the popular 'Tea Rose' pattern, a hallmark design produced by Pfaltzgraff starting in the mid-1980s. The cup is constructed from a sturdy, glazed stoneware typical of American casual dinnerware from this period. Its physical characteristics include a creamy off-white base color accented by a delicate floral motif. The decoration consists of soft pink watercolor-style roses with sage and forest green foliage. A notable feature is the fine green pinstripe bordering the rim of the cup, which adds a clean, finished look. The cup sits on a flared, pedestal-style foot and features a rounded 'C' shaped handle on the side for easy gripping. In terms of condition, the piece appears to be in excellent used condition with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing; however, light shelf wear on the bottom foot and minor surface scratches from usage are expected for its age. The craftsmanship reflects the durable, high-quality mass production standards of late 20th-century Pfaltzgraff ceramics, which were designed to be both functional and decorative for everyday use. Marks on the bottom (not visible but inferred by style) would typically include the Pfaltzgraff castle logo.
