An elegant and substantial antique demitasse cup and saucer from Theodore Haviland, New York — the prestigious American branch of the renowned Haviland porcelain family — in the Aledia pattern.
The footed cup features a broad encrusted gold band with fine etched floral detail at the rim, a bold round loop handle in full gold, and a thin gold line at the foot. The generous saucer mirrors the design with the same wide gold border. The overall effect is formal, luxurious, and timelessly refined — characteristic of the finest American table service of the early 20th century.
