Demitasse Cup and Saucer, Nippon, Gold Encrusted, White and Tan, Floral Pattern
A gorgeous Nippon demitasse teacup and saucer. They are white with a tan edge with a floral pattern and are gold encrusted. This would be perfect for an afternoon tea. A great way to serve afternoon chocolate, coffee, or espresso on the veranda.
A demitasse is a small cup used to serve Turkish coffee or espresso. Demitasse is the French word for half cup.
The name Nippon was used before the U.S. McKinley Tariff Act, which forbade the import of items that were not “plainly marked, stamped, branded, or labeled in legible English words.” Nippon is the English spelling of the pronunciation of what Americans call Japan, but in 1921, the word was ruled Japanese in origin, so Nippon was no longer accepted by U.S. Customs Agents thereafter. This dates the pieces from before the McKinley Tariff act demanded that "Japan" was to be used.

The set is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks, or crazing. The gold shows no wear. This cup and saucer look like it was rarely used.
