This beautiful coffee/teacup from Buffalo Pottery's Deldare Emerald product line is a true antique piece, manufactured in 1911 in Buffalo NY. Emerald Deldare Ware is the "Cadillac" of the Buffalo Pottery and usually commands a very high price. Most of the pieces were decorated with Doctor Syntax scenes with humorous verses. These were whimsical drawings/engravings by Thomas Rowlandson depicting the doctor's famous tours of London, Paris, etc.. There is a predominance of green in the ware, which may have contributed to its name. This cup is great for replacement or adding to your collection. Thanks!
