Vintage Mismatched Teacup Set: Dragon Porcelain & Matte Espresso Cups

Welcome to vintage findings at The Plum Dish. A gentle reminder: all listings include free UK postage,
with love. Rabbit šŸ°
A gathered quartet of small and very cute vintage teacups and saucers, selected not for sameness but for their shared cadence. Two matte-finished cups in soft neutral tonesā€”beige and slate greyā€”offer quiet simplicity. Their companions, ornate porcelain cups adorned with 3D hand painted, misted dragon motifs, bring a touch of ceremony and myth.

Though visually distinct, these pieces were chosen for their coordination in tone and presence. The matte pair grounds the set; the dragons lift it. Together, they form a considered mismatchā€”balanced in palette, contrast, and scale.

Each cup is small and stands approximately 5cm high, ideal for tea, espresso, or slow morning sips. The saucers echo their companionsā€”minimalist for the matte pair, gilded and patterned for the dragonsā€”creating a layered visual rhythm. Perfect for speciality drinks or a little girls tea party.

This set includes:
- 2 matte-finish cups + matching saucers (beige & grey)
- 2 dragon motif porcelain cups + matching saucers
- All cups approx. 5cm high
- Suitable for tea, coffee, or display.
