Measurements: Approx. 6 in wide (saucer diameter) x 3.5 in tall (cup height)
Condition: Appears very good vintage condition overall with no obvious chips or cracks seen in the photos. Minor wear consistent with age/use, including light rubbing to gilt and a few small specks/marks noted in close-ups (typical for vintage pieces).
Food Safe: Not guaranteed / not certified. While this was originally made as functional tea ware, vintage decorated/gilt china can have metallic or older overglaze pigments that may contain trace heavy metals, and condition/age matter. For the most conservative guidance: Best used as a display/collectible piece, or for occasional use only. If you plan to use it: hand-wash only, avoid dishwasher/microwave (gold trim), and avoid long contact with highly acidic liquids. If you need certainty, use an at-home lead test swab (screening only) or a lab test for confirmation.
