An emblem of labor. An emblem of ending.

This vintage teacup and saucer features crossed tools beneath a small skull—an austere, symbolic composition set within a richly decorated cobalt and gold border. It reads like a quiet crest: work, time, and what follows.

Elegant in form yet stark in message, this gothic porcelain teacup is suited for those drawn to symbolism, antique-inspired decor, and dark narrative objects.

Vintage. Hand washable.
