The Victorian bone china demitasse cup is in MINT condition with no chips, cracks or crazing noted. The inside of the demitasse cup look as if it were never used.
It measures 2-1/2" diameter at the top, 1-7/8" on the base and is 3-1/4" measured from the tip of the handle to the far rim of the demitasse cup rim, and stands 2-1/8" high.
