Royal Halsey Fruit Lustre Tea Cup and Saucer

Royal Halsey Fruit Lustre Tea Cup and Saucer An iridescent pink tea cup and reticulated saucer featuring a hand-painted fruit motif and gold trim. Royal Halsey was a brand name used by the Lipper & Mann importing company based in New York. This specific style, often called 'Fruit Lustre' or 'Orchard Fruit,' was produced in Japan during the mid-20th century to mimic the high-end English porcelain designs of Aynsley and Shelley. The reticulated, or pierced, edge of the saucer was a signature decorative element that made these sets popular for display in Victorian-style curio cabinets.
