Yellow Lagardo Tackett for Schmid Porcelain Demitasse Cups - A Pair saddle vice The basket is a terrificJust a terrific pair of vintage modern demitasse cups, designed by Lagardo Tackett for Schmid Porcelain in the 1950s. The yellow is perfect cheerful, but with a hint of mustard that gives them a bit of an edge; the lines are really great; and I swear espresso tastes better in them! Each cup" 4" tall x 3" across at handle x 1 3 4" deep. Each saucer: 3 1 2" d x 1 2" tall. Excellent condition.
