I enjoy collecting dishes and displaying them in a china cabinet. However, I've recently run out of space, so I'd like to start selling some of my collection. This cup and saucer were purchased at a department store some time ago and have been used sparingly, but the gold leaf on the cup has faded slightly. The saucer appears to be in beautiful condition with no noticeable wear on the gold leaf. There is no original box. I believe this set, with its lovely rose design, will make your usual tea time even more special and create a wonderful moment. I appreciate your understanding that this is a used item.
