Nelros Good Luck Cup, demitasse "coffee can" shape

Nelros Good Luck Cup, demitasse saucer

Advertisement for the Nelros Good Luck cup in two styles (Doris and Coffee Can), and mention of a matching ash tray; te maker is stated to be Aynsley

Among the Nelros range of Good Luck ware manufactured by Aynsley was a demitasse shape known as a "coffee can" -- that is, not a tea demitasse, but an after-dinner coffee cup. Because some teaders from the Middle East prefer to read coffee grounds to teal leaves, this cup and saucer set suits them very well.
