Some temptations are simply too delicious to resist. Even when one knows perfectly well how the story ends.

An exquisitely decadent vintage teacup and saucer featuring a lavishly gilded surface adorned with intricate floral scrollwork and a dramatic crimson red inner border.

At the bottom of the cup, a small coiled serpent awaits, its sinuous form a deliciously sinister surprise beneath all that glittering gold.

Finished with a decorative tassel, this one-of-a-kind treasure combines the opulence of vintage fine china with the irresistible symbolism of temptation, danger, and forbidden pleasures.

Perfect for collectors of snake-themed decor, gothic teacups, witchy gifts, Victorian curiosities, and unusual vintage china.

A splendid addition to any tea service belonging to a woman whose intentions are not entirely honorable.

One of a kind. Vintage china, newly embellished.
