This restrained piece is of an elegant but simple form with a beautiful naturalistic handle which separates at the top and terminates on all three ends with a fine hand chased leaf.

The cup and saucer have a stylish engine turned and dotted decoration with a broad classical Greek boarder above.

Each piece has a hand engraved foliate cartouche with the central initials of the original owner, cleverly incorporated into the main decoration.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
