Provenance
Simon Spero exhibition, 2006, no.21

Octagonal coffee cups are recorded with three different handle forms and occur in two sizes. It is significant that no matching saucers have seen for cups of this pattern or type. A pair of similar cups is illustrated by Simon Spero, The Klepser Collection (1984), p.29, no.15.
