Vintage Thomas Forester & Sons Ltd (T.F.&S.) Hainan pattern demitasse cup and saucer. The backstamp used indicates it was made somewhere between 1942 to 1947; the factory closed in 1959. The pattern features an Asian theme with a bird (phoenix) with orange flowers and heavy gilding. This piece is in excellent vintage condition with crazing in the cup, but not the saucer. There is a manufacturing defect inside the cup in the form of a glaze “lump”, otherwise no defects.  The cup is 2 ½ inches tall by 2 ¼ inches in diameter. The saucer is 4 ½ inches in diameter.
