It’s this time of year for these kind of cups! Made in Japan in the 1930s, this is a rare set of Fruit Harvest demitasse cups that feature the prettiest combination of Fall color. Peach, pumpkin, nutmeg, sage, butter and cinnamon - this palette hints at cool autumn mornings and frost kissed ground covers. Of vistas that change color before your eyes as the sun changes direction in the sky. Of landscapes that turn from grey to beige to gold to smoky blue as the day turns from morning to afternoon to night. They set scenes of Thanksgiving mornings in warm kitchens abundant with food and friendship and holiday cooking. An espresso toast for the cooks... a quiet coffee break on the leaf-filled porch... a welcome hello between friends just arrived... these are some of the stories that these cups tell. Delicate and beautifully designed with a hand-painted floral and fruit transferware motif, these are the kind of history-laden pieces that call for time-honored traditions. Hot buttered rum, Irish coffee, Scandinavian Glugg or just a simple espresso ready take on new memories and new stories. Warm, rich and atmospheric, they are a gorgeous match for antique brown transferware, aged ironstone or neutral color palettes from previous decades. But the best compliment to these five are a flutter of falling leaves and a sweater and you on a cool, crisp day. 🍁 🍂 🍁 Find them in the shop! . . . . . #vintagecups #transferware #demitasse #autumnvibes #fruitharvest #handpaintedcup #coffeecups #transferwarechinapottery #autumnfeeling #coffeetime #fallstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK70zUgj8D/?igshid=1ls1dinqr177p
