Antique Transferware Cup & Saucer with Sailing Ship Scene

A lovely bit of maritime transferware ¡ª a cup and saucer in soft ivory with an embossed scrollwork border, centered on a sepia transfer of a two-masted ship at anchor in a calm harbor. Age has given the glaze a warm, honeyed patina that only makes it more charming. A collector's piece that displays beautifully on a shelf or plate rail, or mixes into a gathered tablescape for anyone who loves the sea.
