A fine English porcelain espresso, coffee, tea demitasse cup and saucer by Minton for Nathan-Dohrmann Co., San Francisco, circa early-20th century, England. This beautiful English Minton porcelain demitasse cup and saucer was made for luxury retailer Nathan-Dohrmann Co., San Francisco (as marked on bottom of both pieces as shown in last images.) Executed on an off-white ivory ground, this two-piece set is decorated with elegant gold gilt ornamentation and a gold and cobalt-blue dot and geometric border surrounding both the cup and saucer. The refined palette and finely rendered decoration reflect the quality and craftsmanship for which Minton became renowned.
Founded in the nineteenth century, Nathan-Dohrmann Co. was among San Francisco's premier luxury retailers, importing fine European porcelains, silver, and decorative objects for an affluent clientele. The retailer's mark to the underside of both pieces provides additional provenance to the set.
Suitable for daily use serving espresso, coffee, or tea demitasse, display, or collecting. Piece/set (cup/saucer) would also make a nice gift.
Sterling silver spoon(s) shown available separately.
