Set of 12 cups & saucers by Lily of China. In an original box- rare full set

Vintage set of China Lily demitasse cups is a perfect blend of elegance and practicality, designed for savoring espresso or participating in an ancient tea ceremony. Each of the 12 cups, measuring 2 inches in height and 3 inches in width, is securely housed in its original box, ensuring their protection and presenting a stunning display. The deep brown hue of the cups is beautifully contrasted with intricate gold embellishments, each depicting graceful reindeer, which echo the artistry and beauty of nature. Accompanying each cup is a matching saucer, ensuring harmony in both design and function. The Lily of China, also known as the Asiatic lily, symbolizes purity and connection to the divine. It is often associated with harmony and tranquility — qualities beautifully reflected in this set. Whether used for a quiet moment with espresso or a more ceremonial tea experience, these cups bring an air of sophistication and cultural richness to any occasion. The combination of thoughtful design and rich symbolism makes this collection not just functional china, but also a conversation piece that invites appreciation and enjoyment. This is the first time I have found a full set of 12 cups and saucers together and in such beautiful vintage condition
