DIAMOND CHINA COMPANY USA Antique, Made in the USA 1910s Hand-painted ⚫︎Rare item Introducing a hand-painted cup & saucer set, where deep cobalt blue and gold accents elegantly stand out against the serenity of white porcelain⁂ This piece is from the renowned American porcelain maker, 【DIAMOND CHINA COMPANY】, and the backstamp indicates it was produced around the 1910s. DIAMOND was a brand that produced many high-quality porcelain pieces for hotels and the upper class from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Even in an era when machine production was becoming mainstream, the brand's pride and aesthetic sense are evident in the fact that much of the decoration was done by the hands of artisans, with hand-painting. The shape is an elegant form that gently widens towards the mouth. The handle is designed to naturally fit the fingers, allowing for both practicality and beauty*.゜ The gold plant patterns that follow the cobalt band have slightly different expressions, giving a sense of warmth unique to hand-painting*° If you pour tea in the quiet morning hours, the gold accents running along the rim of the cup will catch the light, gently transforming the everyday into something specialˊᵕˋ This is an antique that transcends time, suitable even as "a cup for oneself."
