Booths Silicon Teacup & Saucer

Elegant antique/vintage demitasse cup and saucer by Booths (England), featuring a rich cobalt-blue band with gold gilt scrollwork/medallions and delicate hand-applied floral bouquets. The petite scale (about 2.5” tall cup and ~4” saucer) makes it ideal for espresso, demitasse service, display in a china cabinet, or as a charming accent in a tea vignette. Both pieces are backstamped “BOOTH’S / SILICON CHINA / ENGLAND” with a crown mark.
