This is an incredibly sweet pair of vintage doll-sized ceramic tea cups.
I estimate them to be made in the 1950s or 1960s as they are numbered on the bottom, but not marked with the country of origin. One is etched "42" and the other "49". These were probably made in England since they are numbered, but they could also have been made in Canada, USA or France - difficult to know!
Lovely rare find - nice to add to an existing doll's tea set, to hold small trinkets or to use in a fairy garden display.
The cups measure approximately 2 1/2 inches wide (with handle) by 1 1/4 inch tall.
The are in very good condition for their age. No chips or cracks - a bit of delightful crazing and wobbly spots in the glaze. The graphics are very clear - a little tiny bit of paint loss/wear but only noticeable on close inspection.
~ Origin Unknown - Likely England ~
Important Note: Intended for children over the age of 8. Given to a child at a parent's discretion and under supervision.
