A Pair of Green Glazed Porcelain Romantic Scene Demitasse Cups and Saucers - This lot comprises a pair of porcelain demitasse cups and matching saucers. Each piece is crafted from glazed white porcelain and features a vibrant green ground. The cylindrical cups are fitted with angular 7-shaped handles. The primary decoration consists of hand-painted or transfer-printed romanticised cartouches on the cups, depicting couples in 18th-century attire within landscape settings. These central scenes are framed by gilded foliate borders. The saucers repeat the green ground and include a central polychrome floral garland band, accented with gilded sawtooth and foliate inner borders. The underside of one cup is marked with a hand-painted number 204 in black. The second cup bears a faint, circular taupe-coloured mark on the base that is not legible as a name or specific device. Both saucers bear small, faint red or pink stamps on the underside; however, the characters within these stamps are blurred and cannot be read.
