The cup measures 6.6cm (2 9/16") high and 6.4cm (2 1/2") wide. The saucer measures 12.1cm (4 3/4") wide.

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration. Minimal handling wear but there are a couple of very fine craze lines to the cup in places. The gold mark to the saucer is a bit rubbed.
