This is a very rare set of hand painted MakMerry pottery demi-tasse cups and saucers. There are no cracks, no chips and no crazing. There are, however, numerous flaws in the glaze from manufacturing. There are areas where the glaze is missing or extra thick. There are also pin dots in the glaze in places. Please see the photos as they show the condition of the set very well. The cups are espresso size, measuring 6 cm tall, with a diameter of 6 cm at the opening. The saucers have a diameter of 13 cm.

In my opinion, these are absolutely gorgeous, flaws and all. They are pretty cool piece of history.

The design on the set represents tall flowers in a country garden. The flower display consists of pink and yellow hollyhocks; tall blue lupins; pink, yellow and blue daisy-like blooms; drooping bluebells and purple irises.

HISTORY: The MakMerry pottery grew out of the Scottish Women's Rural Institute, which was founded in 1917 in the Scottish town Macmerry, by Catherine Blair.

Catherine had previously been an active Suffragist, campaigning for 'Votes for Women' and had a history of promoting female independence and equality. She became involved in the suffragette movement by writing countless letters to the press about the plight of women.

In 1920, MakMerry was set up as the trading arm of the Institute. Initially, members invested small sums of money and produced food items for sale – but they soon moved into producing fine craftworks as well – one of the crafts was pottery decoration. They hand-painted smaller household items such as plates, shallow bowls, lidded pots and teapots. All these are instantly identifiable as most pieces feature the delicate and stylized floral patterns.
