Cup and saucer 1933

This cup and saucer set, created in 1933 by American artist Frank Graham Holmes, features a decorative illustration of a house surrounded by foliage, with a banner beneath reading "James Westover Rice." The detailed, engraved-style imagery is reminiscent of historical illustrations and prints, adding a touch of antique charm to the simple ceramic piece. The set's design incorporates a thin band of metallic copper around the rims, adding a subtle touch of sophistication. This artwork, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a fine example of Holmes's work in decorative arts, capturing the essence of classic and elegant design.
