• Vintage:  1980's - 1990's
  
• Details:  A beautiful and delicate demitasse in the much desired blue and white colors.  The design is a bouquet of flowers all in blue, part of the Maryland China Company Winrose Collection.  The porcelain pattern, a wonderful embossed scalloped pattern was originally created by Chodov (now privately owned and operated by Hass & Czjzek) and most likely the porcelain cup and saucer were purchased from Hass & Czjzek (H&C) in the Czech Republic, and the floral decoration added in the USA.  Both pieces are marked "Hand Decorated in USA".  If you're a demitasse collector, this will make a great addition to your collection.  If you're a blue and white lover, this cup will be greatly enjoyed.

Maryland China Company was started in 1910, originally only selling to artists who painted exclusively on china pieces.  They have since expanded to all porcelain artists, commercial decorators, etc.  Their china meets stringent quality specs in order to meet the demanding standard of these artists.  Many of these pieces took hours to complete.  We are unsure if Maryland China makes all their own pottery, this line of porcelain most likely was made by Chodov / H&C in the Czech Republic.  H&C has been selling porcelain to Maryland China since they opened in 1910 and continue today.
