Imari Style Porcelain Coffee Cup and Saucer Set

This is a fine porcelain demitasse or coffee cup and saucer set featuring a classic Imari-inspired aesthetic, characterized by an underglaze blue and overglaze iron-red and gold palette. The cup has a straight-sided, slightly tapered cylindrical body with a simple white loop handle. The exterior is decorated with a central floral cartouche depicting a stylized peony in burnt orange and peach tones, surrounded by navy blue leaves. The upper rim of both the cup and saucer features a complex geometric and floral border consisting of interlocking scrolls, repeating medallions containing dark navy centers, and gold-gilt scalloped edges. The porcelain body is a crisp white with a high-gloss glaze finish. The decoration appears to be a combination of transferware with hand-painted polychrome and gilded highlights. Based on the formal pattern and construction, this set likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, possibly of English origin (such as Royal Crown Derby or similar manufacturers) or French manufacture. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible fine crazing throughout the glaze of the cup and saucer, particularly noticeable on the white ground. There are also signs of light gilding wear on the rim of the cup, consistent with age and gentle use. No major chips or cracks are immediately visible in the image.
