Stark and striking — a large white flower with a dark center alongside a deep red rose, a pairing that has more drama than the typical floral cup and earns its place on any shelf that takes color seriously. Bone china keeps it elegant, the ruffled gold rim keeps it grounded.
Royal Ascot was a mid-century English bone china maker whose retired patterns now live in collections and curated homes around the world. This piece carries their signature ruffled gold rim on both cup and saucer, with gilding at the base and handle — refined craftsmanship that holds up beautifully after seventy years.
A bold choice for a collector, a striking seasonal accent, or a gift for someone with an eye for the unconventional. Lovely for a birthday, anniversary, or housewarming.

Dimensions: Saucer 5.5" diameter; cup 3.5" diameter × 3" tall
