    The saucer is ~5" in diameter, the cup is ~2 3/4" rim dia by ~2 1/2" tall.
    There are 6 of them, and I was told they were for hot chocolate. These are part of a recent inheritance, and will be listed on eBay...I've no need for them.

    I've been to thepotteries.com, which shows the mark...but without any information adjacent. I'll be grateful for the name of the pattern, and an approximate age, based on the mark. Thank you sincerely for looking!

    Check out The Dorchester, on replacements.com. They have an image search feature up top.

    Coffee, not chocolate. Pretty little thing.

    I'll accept your differentiation. Was coffee consumed in such diminutive cups so long ago? Thanks!

    Oh, very much so, known as demi tasse cups here. The shape and size are typical.

    I agree with owned that this is a coffee cup and saucer, demitasse size. I think of this size as after dinner cup and saucer. For when you just want a little coffee with dessert but you don't want to be up all night buzzed on caffeine.
