1920s British Minton Cup & Saucer, Pink Cockatrice, Custom Order for Meyer Emporium

Introducing the Minton cup and saucer from the UK.

A teacup and saucer set believed to be from the 1920s.
The "Cockatrice" pattern, featuring exotic designs and a phoenix-like bird, is a representative design of the Chinoiserie style.
It appears to have been custom-made for the salon of Myer Emporium, a long-established department store in Melbourne, Australia.
The handle has a distinctive design, and the saucer is also deep.
This piece evokes the story of a traveling antique, born in England and likely to have captivated people in salons far away in the Southern Hemisphere.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
