The coordinated decoration continues from the cups onto the saucers, giving the four pieces a particularly nice appearance when displayed together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping + Trust (Reading Vintage standards)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e∙[\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myreadingvintage.com\/pages\/shipping-policy\" title=\"reading Vintage shipping policy\"\u003ePhoto-verified condition\u003c\/a\u003e], no surprises\u003cbr\u003e∙Packed with our protective packaging standard\u003cbr\u003e∙Ships in 1 business day\u003cbr\u003e∙Free Shipping on $35+ (U.S. only)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history.
