Before it hits my Etsy shop or eBay, I will have a teeny cup o' floral tea in this pretty little demitasse from the late 1940's. It's American Limoges, in the Norway Blue pattern. Older style Limoges was hand painted - these are decals- still cute, from Sebring, Ohio.
Plain on the outside, pretty flowers inside

"Tea does our fancy aid,
Repress those vapours which the head invade,
And keeps that palace of the soul serene."
Edmund Waller
