Appreciating Coffee Cups
Coffee was hardly known in Europe
before the 17th century. Travellers to the
Middle East would have visited coffee
houses, thus generating interest at home.

The first coffee house in Britain opened
in Oxford in 1650, and coffee became
very popular throughout Europe in the
18th century. At that time tea sets would
often include 12 teacups and saucers and
12 coffee cups.

Over time, many coffee and tea sets have
been broken up and thus full services
are rare. As a result the demand for
collecting coffee cups has increased.
There are fine examples of coffee cups or
‘cans’ available. Some of these are small
and were used for serving very strong
Turkish style coffee.

Illustrated are:
1. A set of six continental coffee
cans and saucers.

2. A set of four Royal Worcester
coffee cans and saucers.

3. A Copeland Spode ‘Primrose’
coffee can and saucer.

4. A Royal Albert coffee can and saucer.

5. A Royal Crown Derby Imari
pattern coffee can and saucer.
