Description: Canton Cups and their accompanying Saucers make up a confusing world in defining the many variations/sizes to be found for each. Accordingly, they will be found in separate listings. We will try not to differentiate between coffee, chocolate and tea cups or straight sided cans but will separate out demitasse cups. The Chinese did not have handles on their cups but for export they added them.

The two tea cups shown here are distinguished by their tapered shapes and “no handles”. They have straight line borders, glazed bottoms and small pedestal bases. Although shown with 6″ diameter saucers, saucers will be discussed on another page.

Not shown are a pair that are 3 3/4″ diameter x 2 1/8″ high and both weigh 4.1 oz.
