A lovely pair of antique red transferware saucers from the late 19th century, each beautifully decorated with birds in flight, butterflies, and flowering branches in the distinctive Aesthetic Movement style. The intricate red transfer design combines naturalistic imagery with ornamental scroll borders—an homage to the East-meets-West artistry that defined the era’s pottery.
Measuring approximately 5" in diameter, these petite saucers were likely part of a tea or breakfast set produced by an English pottery between 1875 and 1890. Their fine crackle glaze and soft ivory tone add warmth and depth, giving each piece a timeless, rustic charm.
