Description
This striking vintage Capodimonte demitasse set features lavish decoration inside and out. Each cup has a radiant gold gilt interior and a continuous hand-painted scene depicting romantic Rococo-era figures in a pastoral landscape. The sculpted handles are formed as expressive human faces with flowing hair, adding an unusual artistic detail rarely found on standard tea wares.
The matching saucers complement the cups with raised ribbed centers, floral garlands, and elegant gold trim. Together they create an eye-catching display suitable for entertaining, decorating a china cabinet, or expanding a collection of fine Italian porcelain.
