A demitasse cup and saucer by Japy, decorated in the Japonisme style that swept French decorative arts in the late 19th century — a folding fan, cherry blossoms, and bamboo rendere d on cream porcelain with a squared geometric gold handle that is itself a nod to Japanese design. The saucer carries the pattern independently from the cup, which is the mark of a well-considered set. The backstamp confirms French manufacture. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensionscup: 2.5"dia x 2.5"H saucer: 4.75"dia x 0.75"H Show more
