But there is an oddity-of the six cups-there are five different designs on the front. The backs of the cups are plain. One cup matches the chocolate pot. Two cups have the same design and all others are similar, but different.

The chocolate pot has no markings. One saucer and one cup have an ichthys marking as shown.

The chocolate pot measures about 4.25 inches across. It is 7.75 inches tall to the rim and 9.25 inches tall to the top of the handle.

Each cup is 2.25 inches across the rim by 2.75 inches tall.

Each saucer is 4 3/8 inches wide.

The chocolate pot has great shaping, with a large curly handle and shaped spout all of which are trimmed in gold.

The cups have the same shaping with a scalloped rim at the top rim and bottom edge. The saucers are scalloped.

There is some color variation in the blue on the saucers. Two are slightly lighter while three are darker. This color variation is also in the cups, but is not as noticeable. The vendor I bought this from said it had been in her family for over one hundred years, so this may just be some fading from the sun.

The set has no chips, cracks, crazing, or other damage.
