Copeland Spode Buttercup Cup Coffee or Teacup Saucer Mid-Century Older Backstamp

Bring a soft mid century touch to your table with this Copeland Spode Buttercup cup and saucer, featuring the classic Buttercup china pattern and an older Copeland Spode backstamp that adds a little extra history to every sip. This is a single earthenware teacup and matching english tea saucer, perfect if you are completing a coffee cup set, starting a new collection, or just wanting one special piece for your morning ritual.

The buttercup coffee cup is crafted in warm cream earthenware that feels solid in your hand without being too heavy. The matching english tea saucer sits gracefully under the cup and frames your drink with a delicate scalloped edge.

Both the teacup and saucer feature:

• Buttercup floral pattern with soft yellow blossoms, leafy greenery, and tiny details that invite a closer look • Fluted rims that add dimension and gently catch the light • Embossed wicker weave texture that gives a tactile, woven effect around the edges • A warm, creamy glaze that works well with retro kitchen decor, cottage style shelves, or a simple white table setting

Size details:

Cup • Approx. 2" high • Approx. 3.5" diameter across the rim

Saucer • Approx. 5.5" diameter

This Copeland Spode Buttercup china piece is marked Spode #2/7873 with the older backstamp, which helps date it and makes it especially appealing as a collectors teacup. The set is in vintage condition with no chips or cracks. You will notice light age appropriate crazing in the glaze that adds to its vintage charm rather than taking away from it. The pattern remains clear and bright enough for everyday enjoyment while still feeling like a true mid century find.

This tea party cup and saucer works beautifully as:

• A daily-use teacup and saucer for your morning coffee or evening tea • A pretty accent in a small coffee cup set displayed on open shelves or in a china cabinet • A collectors teacup to round out your Buttercup pattern or start a special one-of-a-kind collection • A thoughtful vintage gift mom will appreciate for its practicality and sentiment • A charming gift for mother for birthdays, Mother’s Day, or holidays, especially if she loves floral patterns or english tea traditions • A sweet, functional piece of retro kitchen decor that ties together your buttercup accents, linens, and serveware

You can pair this earthenware teacup with other Buttercup china or mix it with plain white dishes for a softer, curated look. It works just as nicely filled with coffee or hot chocolate as it does with classic English breakfast tea. You can also style it as a small catchall on a vanity, a tiny planter for a succulent, or a decorative accent on a tray in your kitchen.

Care instructions:

• Hand wash only to help protect the glaze, the floral transfer, and the older backstamp • Avoid soaking for long periods and avoid sudden temperature changes, as with all vintage earthenware

If you enjoy quiet rituals, hosting a tea party, or simply like to surround yourself with pieces that have a story, this Copeland Spode Buttercup earthenware teacup and english tea saucer is a lovely choice. It brings gentle color, a touch of mid century nostalgia, and a classic floral pattern to your table while giving you a special little moment each time you pour a drink.
