Re: Antique expresso cup and saucer
without seeing thm close up, they look like a type of Hocking Glass in a pattern known as Spiral. It was made in 1928-1930. It was made in clear and green. I don't know if the clear was ever produced with a gold rim. I might suggest searching sold listings for Spiral pattern , Hocking Glass on ebay. I have tried to sell a pitcher in the spiral pattern in clear glass and had no interest at all. Not sure if any of this helps, but at least you know people are looking ...good luck!
