About the Item
Beautiful coffee set for 5 people.
Marking: under glaze black stamp in the form of a hieroglyph.
Dating: Japan, 1950s.
At the bottom of the cups is a lithophane with a portrait of a geisha. These beautiful lithophane cups were first created in the late 1800s. The cups are thin, and the picture placed on the bottom of the cup is made using porcelain of various thicknesses. Most of these porcelain cups are made in the Kutani region of Japan.
Be sure to check the bottom of the cup for light!
If you hold it up to the light, you can see the lithophane of a geisha girl at the base of the cups. Lithophane (or lithopane or in French: lithophanie) is an etched or molded work of art on thin translucent porcelain that can only be clearly seen when illuminated from behind by a light source.
The security is good. No damage, no chips.
Dimensions:
Diameter of saucers 11.5 cm / 4.5 inches
Cup diameter at top 5.5 cm / 2.16 inches

Antique silver plated coffee and tea set by Elkington & Co, England, 1880s
By Elkington & Co.
Located in Miklavž Pri Taboru, SI
Antique silver plated coffee and tea set by Elkington & Co made in the United Kingdom in the 1880s.
Elkington & Co are one of the most important names in English Silver and Silver Plate. Elkington started in Birmingham in 1836, and experimented with innovative gilding techniques. By 1838 they had discovered and patented a new way to electroplate one metal on to the surface of another. By 1840 production was already underway with silver electroplated wares. The company received financial backing from Josiah Mason in 1842 (renaming the firm Elkington, Mason & Co between 1842 and 1861) and was extremely successful. It introduced electrotyping as a new method of production for silver plated items. Elkington & Co exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 with enormous success. Elkington held Royal Warrants for Queen Victoria, King Edward VI, King George V, King Edward VIII and King George VI. The Elkington & Co. name is still in use today as manufacturers under the auspices of British Silverware Ltd.
