A charming set of three cups and their saucers made of white porcelain, adorned with a delicate pattern of pink roses and buds on an ivory background. The carefully painted roses are accompanied by green foliage and small mauve flowers, adding a touch of freshness to the set. The pattern appears on both the cups and the saucers, with slight variations from one piece to another, characteristic of artisanal production. The marking under the cups indicates manufacturing in Boshan, in Shandong province, a region renowned for its porcelain and glass production for several centuries. These Chinese export sets from the 1970s-1980s are now sought after for their discreet charm and quality craftsmanship. The set is in beautiful vintage condition, consistent with the photographs.
