This delicate duo features a fine bone china cup and matching saucer from the renowned Shelley pottery of Staffordshire, England. The set is decorated with a vibrant multi-color floral motif, likely the Rose, Pansy, Forget-Me-Not pattern, which is a classic hallmark of mid-20th-century British teaware. Known for their incredibly thin and translucent "eggshell" porcelain, Shelley pieces are highly collectible for both their durability and elegance. This set features the characteristic scalloped edges and a dainty handle, representing the high-quality craftsmanship associated with the 1940s–1960s production era.
