Very Good Condition This oversized or jumbo-sized teacup and saucer set is often referred to as a "English joke cup and saucer". It was meant to be humorous and create a gag or "joke" for the person being served and popular during the Aesthetic Movement in the Victorian era. They were also functional and intended to be used for serving a large cup of tea. I have several "Joke" Oversized Cup and Saucer sets - great for soup, hot chocolate, and tea.
