Here is a beautiful vintage hot chocolate service for six plus tray crafted in Italy circa '50s, made of pottery or majolica. (Ceramiche in Italian.) The set could also be used for tea of course but is really meant to serve the European hot chocolate which is thicker and richer than American style. There are six little cups with lids to keep the beverage warm, plus a ceramic tray to serve them on. The decoration on the rim of the tray has been stamped. The cups and lids are probably molded, with applied handles; the floral decoration adorning each lid has been formed and applied by hand. Overall in excellent condition, the worst being some flea bites on the rim of a lid and a handle that broke off and was glued back on - and not terribly badly. Adorable design and elegant in presentation. I love these but will probably be moving soon and need to downsize. The time for hot chocolate is fast approaching! Winter is coming! Each cup incl lid is 4" high; tray is 11 1/2" diam. Questions welcome. Thanks for looking!
