Antique Dresden Demitasse Cup & Saucer with Neo-Classical Scenes c1890

A pretty Dresden demitasse porcelain cup and saucer from the end of the nineteenth century. The pieces feature neo-classical scenes of ladies dancing & playing musical instruments with cherubs. A typical Dresden scrollwork gilt pattern separates the panels. There is also a blue double-crossed lines mark to the base of both pieces.

Condition is very good with no chips or significant cracks. There is a very feint vertical hairline crack to the interior of the cup which is not visible to the outside and the cup still has a nice ring when tapped. There is a little age-related wear to the gilt in places and some surface wear. Please see photographs for more information.

The cup is 6cm tall, ~5.1cm diameter rim to rim (6.9cm including handle) and weighs 46g. The saucer is 12.6cm diameter and weighs 91g.
