Fin Porcelain Demitasse Cups Saucers Blue Checkerboard Gold Rim Vintage Set of 2

A charming matching set of two vintage demitasse cups and saucers in white porcelain with a crisp blue and black geometric checkerboard design, small floral motifs, and delicate gold tone rims.

The compact cups have a classic espresso or after dinner coffee size, while the repeating blue geometric decoration gives the set a wonderful retro look.

 This is a complete two person set with two cups and two matching saucers.

Collector's Notes

Demitasse cups were made for serving small portions of strong coffee and espresso. Their petite scale also makes vintage sets especially appealing for display in a china cabinet, coffee bar, or mixed vintage table setting.

This set stands out for its repeating turquoise blue checkerboard bands, tiny stylized floral motifs, fine black line work, and narrow gold tone edging. The coordinated decoration continues from the cups onto the saucers, giving the four pieces a particularly nice appearance when displayed together.

The underside of the cup shown in the photographs carries a script mark reading “Fin - Porcelain.” A specific manufacturer and documented pattern name could not be confirmed, so neither has been attributed beyond the visible mark.
