Autumn leaves in soft gold, warm brown, pale green, and blush pink — a palette that belongs to the turn of the season, when the light changes and everything on the table should match it. This Royal Ming cup and saucer carries the leaves loosely across both pieces, the curved saucer holding any drips, the translucent porcelain glowing with the warmth of the colors it carries.
The pieces are unmarked beyond the Royal Ming pattern designation RMI1 — which is both a small mystery and a reminder that mid-century Japanese export porcelain was often produced with more care than credit. The quality speaks clearly. Hand wash recommended to maintain condition.
A natural piece for an autumn table, a seasonal display, or a gift for someone who loves to change their home with the seasons. Lovely for a birthday, housewarming, or as a thoughtful any-time gift.
