This is a rare Edwardian Romantic Staffordshire cup and saucer made by the Thomas Forester and Sons Ltd. Phoenix china, England in 1900-1915.

The antique blue transferware cup and saucer is in a pattern called Florentine and is rarely seen. This is often called flow blue as well, but is slightly more recent than that period.

The cup stands 3 inches high and is 3 inches in diameter and the saucer is 5.5 inches in diameter.

The Romantic Staffordshire design features Roman ruins and a classical landscape and is in very good +++ used vintage condition with no chips, cracks or restorations.

The cup and saucer was once rimmed with gold but that is almost all gone. The set would be a wonderful decorative accent to any tea table.
