Royal Worcester Set of Trembleuse Cups and Saucers

(8) of each, pleasing blue and white design over a gilt diaper pattern, each with Royal Worcester mark and date letter for 1878. Trembleuse cups and saucers were specifically designed for a person who suffered from the trembles or palsey and were virtually spillproof, hence the deep saucer. Included in the lot is an additional saucer with a date letter for 1879.

Saucer 1.5 x 5.25 in; Cup 2.5 in.

Estate of the Late Dorothy G. Hale & Co., Chicago, IL and by descent.

Most cups with small areas of loss to the gilt diaper pattern; one cup with browning to the interior.

$400 - 600
