Royal Worcester Aesthetic Style Blush Ivory Coffee Cup & Saucer

This is a late Victorian Royal Worcester cup and saucer decorated with a Japanese aesthetic movement style with moulded ribbed detail, shaped rims and a rope twist thumb rest to the tightly scrolled handle. A blush ivory finish painted with autumnal flowers, chrysanthemums, asters, fuchsias and veronica in muted oranges, blues, olive greens and dusky pinks, all very finely over-detailed in gilt. Soft matte gilding to the rims and handle, textured over a terracotta enamel. Factory marks to both with date code for 1894.
