Antique Flow Blue Teacup with Gold Trim – Victorian-Style Floral Pattern

A beautiful example of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, this antique flow blue teacup features a deep cobalt gradient that softly “flows” into a pale ivory base — a beloved hallmark of this 19th-century ceramic glazing technique. Subtle embossed floral details grace the lower half, while a fine hand-applied gold gilt rim and handle accent complete the refined design. Flow blue pieces were prized for their slightly blurred blue decoration, an effect created when the cobalt pigment “bled” during firing — giving each item its own ethereal charm. This teacup, with its graceful shape and classic handle, evokes the elegance of early English or American Victorian tea service. 🌿 Key Features: Genuine flow blue glaze with gradient cobalt-to-ivory tone Embossed floral and scrollwork detailing Hand-applied gold trim along rim and handle Approximate dimensions: 4” W × 3” D × 2” H Likely late 19th to early 20th century (Victorian/Edwardian era) Perfect for display, photography props,
