A fine and beautiful porcelain demitasse cup and saucer circa 1880. Both pieces are modeled with a cabbage leaf outer surface and are painted in enamels that reflect the natural colors of cabbage. The interior of the cup is gilded. There are no marks indicating manufacture or country of origin. It is most likely Continental and possibly German.
Condition is excellent.
