Royal Crown Derby Mikado Blue Saucer for Demitasse cup. Set of 6 dated 1935.

Here is a collection of 6 Royal Crown Derby Mikado Blue and Gold bone china saucers for the smaller demitasse cup. They are in excellent vintage / antique condition and are all dated 1935 They measure 4 3/8 inches across and would fit a cup with a roughly 1 1/4 inch base. I have a set of 6 cups that came with them but they do not fit the indentation of this saucer so I have listed them separately. The delicate white fine bone china is decorated in classical chinoiserie blue and has 22kt gold painted trim. “The Mikado pattern was designed in 1894 by Royal Crown Derby’s art director, Thomas Amos Reed. It was inspired by rice paper drawings that he had obtained in the Far East. Variations of the legend associated with the pattern are many. Indeed, little imagination is needed to weave a tale with such romantic subjects as ‘Wandering Sad-Eyed Lover’, ‘The Tall Standing Pagodas of the Orient’, ‘The Flight of Cranes’, all set against a backdrop or rivers, mountains and delicate leaf tracery.“
