Antique Royal Worcester tea cup and saucer beautifully hand painted in raised metallic enamels on an unusual purple background. Nice early piece from the Aesthetic movement I think by James Hadley who was inspired by Japanese design. The enamel work is in very good condition, slight wear to the purple paint and gilding on rim, small faint stable hairline just under 1.5 cms in length only visible on the interior of cup. I have provided images of the hairline you can also see what looks like stilt marks in the inside of cup.
