Wedgwood Queensware Reindeer Demitasse Cups & Saucers by Alfred Powell (1927)

  
Wedgwood Queensware "Reindeer" Demitasse Cups & Saucers by Alfred Powell (1927). Working closely with Wedgwood from the early 20th century, Powell introduced hand-painted decoration inspired by nature, English landscapes, and wildlife, transforming standard Queensware into individually painted works of art. His designs combined the craftsmanship of traditional ceramics with the ideals of the Arts & Crafts movement, and today his signed pieces are among the most sought-after examples of 20th-century Wedgwood. This exceptional twelve-piece demitasse service comprises six cups and six matching saucers, each individually hand-painted and signed with Alfred Powell's distinctive "AP" monogram.

Dating to circa 1927, every cup and saucer features a unique depiction of deer or stags rendered in a variety of monochrome, polychrome, and gilt enamel decorations, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. Beautifully preserved, this rare cabinet set represents the finest intersection of Wedgwood craftsmanship and Arts & Crafts artistry.
