Hear how the birds on every blooming spray with joyous music wake the dawning day. Alexander Pope

{HISTORY}

Made in Japan during the 1970s for Arnart's Royal Crown mark, these two porcelain pedestal coffee cups are from their lovebird series which originally featured a set of 8 different birds. Stylish, with gold detailing around the rim, handle, and pedestal these cups are elegant and colorful. Arnart created many pieces inspired by old English pottery and antique Japanese porcelain, so it's no wonder they chose a bird motif for these cups. Aviary art has always been popular on dishes of the last few centuries and was especially appreciated during the Victorian era when elements from nature could be found on the interior decor of all shapes, sizes, and purposes. 

The birds featured on these two cups are Finches and Warblers. The red-feathered pair are Bullfinches and the yellow-bellied pair, we think might be Common Yellowthroats. Both are exquisitely detailed and so colorful containing shades of tomato red, grey, black, blue, mint green, lemon, lavender, chocolate, peach, raspberry, pink, and celery. 

Fun vintage gifts for engagement, wedding, and anniversary celebrations or for the bird lover in your life these two will have you singing your way around the kitchen all the year through.
