Vintage Carson City Demitasse Teacup & Saucer Souvenir 1950’s

This 1950’s souvenir espresso demitasse cup and saucer from Carson City has a pen and ink drawing of Main Street from the 1800’s. Both the plate and teacup have lots of gold trim, and have no chips, cracks or gold loss. The cup “cuts off” the design on a each side, because they were only used for cabinet display. Souvenir teacups and saucers were popular and a thing in the 1950’s. This one is a very ornate and glamorous example, with the gold painted plate and handle. Please note this is a very petite set, with the cup measuring only 2.25” tall, and the saucer measuring 4” diameter. There are some pits on the saucer and some spots on the cup. All are under glaze, and we’re a result of the manufacturing process. This vintage souvenir demitasse teacup and saucer of Main Street, Carson City Nevada is an awesome find!
