Elegant teacup with intricate gold detailing. Features a pink geometric pattern. Perfect for tea time.

The image shows the bottom of a ceramic plate from the Italian company Ceramiche Ernestine, founded by American potter Ernestine Virden-Cannon in Salerno, Italy. The numbers "841" and "3/32" written on the bottom of the plate are likely a pattern number and a specific piece number, which are common on Ernestine Salerno ceramics. Ernestine Virden-Cannon, who lived from 1904 to 1969, was known for her creative and colorful designs that brought new life to the ceramic industry in Italy. Her company, Ceramiche Ernestine, was established in 1946 and produced a variety of hand-painted ceramic dinnerware, vases, and other decorative objects. Vintage pieces from Ernestine Salerno are often sold on various online marketplaces.
