Lidded Cup with Original Saucer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare 1930s Art Deco serving cup or bowl with lid \u0026amp; its original under-saucer. These are now very hard to source.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is reflected in my asking price for this item. You will have to look for quite some time to find other examples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have had three in my store, but sold two of them, so now only this one is left in stock.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dimensions are handle to handle 5 3\/4 inches. The diameter of the top of the cup is 4 inches and the bottom is a slender 2 inches. The overall height including the lid is about 4 1\/4 inches. The diameter of the saucer is 6 1\/4 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in the dynamic orange-red and black variant of the geometric Tango Pattern. This is very reminiscent of Russian Constructivist designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a more everyday version of the pattern as it is made of ceramic and the pattern is not embellished with gold. The pattern is transfer printed over-glaze and it is probably recommended that the plates are gently hand-washed and never put in a dishwasher. The over-printed design can be susceptible to wear. My ones are generally without issues. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs previously mentioned, this is a harder-to-find piece of Doulton Tango ware and has no chips and hardly any cutlery marks on the surface. As you can see the glaze on each dish is very glossy and shiny.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is on the base of each piece the R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoyal Doulton factory stamp, the Lion, Crown and Knot,  the word Tango and a handwritten design number.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel) post.
