WOOD & SONS - Alva (plain)

Cups and saucers

These were made in three sizes:

-Coffee (demi-tasse - smallest size. See the Woods Westover page for photos)
-Tea
-Breakfast (same shape as teacup but slightly larger)

All have the elegant octagonal shape, but the top rim of the cup is circular.

 
Cups are often unmarked, or have a 'text' only mark (see photo R) rather than the 'urn' mark found on plates and saucers.

 
Cup handles were made in both curved and angular shapes.
