This is a stylish retro cup and saucer set from the ‘Taurus’ range produced by Palissy, which The Royal Worcester Group then owned.
The cup is approximately cylindrical in shape, taping in towards the base. The handle is angular in shape and is attached just below the rim. There is a stylised bull design on either side of the handle. The base of the cup is decorated with a ring of stylised flowers.
The underside of the base is impressed with the words ‘PALISSY ENGLAND’. It is then marked in black with the words ‘A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL WORCESTER GROUP PALISSY ENGLAND EST 1853 CASUAL TABLEWARE’.
The saucer is glazed in chocolate brown and is marked in the same way as the cup.
The cup has a height of approximately 8.0cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 8.9cm and across the base of about 4.7cm. The saucer has a diameter of 15.2cm.
The cup has a liquid capacity (to the brim) of 350ml.
They have an unwrapped weight of 400g.
They are in good condition, with no chips or cracks, although there is some crazing to the glaze in places.
