HAMMERSLEY & Co. LONGTON STOKE ON TRENT ENGLAND HAMMERSLEY Antique Gilded 1912-1920s ● Rare Item Introducing an antique HAMMERSLEY demitasse cup & saucer ⁂ HAMMERSLEY often features華やかな designs, but this one has a cream color with a cute gilded design, creating a calm design ˊᵕˋ HAMMERSLEY was founded in 1862, but in 1912, they attempted to export to the United States. To convey the charm of British pottery and enhance HAMMERSLEY's brand power, they were conscious of the United States at the time and created designs that were not found in other British brands. This item was also made for export to America. It is a rare item that was designed with the American market of that era in mind and was not mass-produced. The gilding is applied by hand. Because of the elaborate shape, it seems that high technical skill was required. The handle and the fine shape of the rim are also irresistibly cute ♡ Unlike the automated products of today, each piece is made by hand by craftsmen. I found it at an antique shop in the suburbs of London. Even after more than 100 years, it has not deteriorated, and I feel its eternal beauty…ˊᵕˋ Also, the appeal of high-quality antiques is that their charm increases with the passage of time. Why not enjoy a life with antiques? Enjoy a special time for a little time at home or for entertaining guests ˊᵕˋ Also, please consider it for your collection!! ○ Size Cup: Diameter approx. 6cm, Height approx. 6.2cm Saucer: Diameter approx. 12.5cm, Height approx. 1.4cm ○ There is a small stain on the inside of the cup.
