This is a coffee cup and saucer from a Coffee Set called "Kon-Tiki". It was made in Staffordshire, U.K by a company called Palissy, Royal Worcester. The set was made sometime in the 1950s. The design features a stylised shield and spears. There were lots of different pieces: coffee and tea pots, plates, creamers, cake stands, pin dishes, mugs, cups, saucers, etc. I have a 54-piece set in a different colour (a kind of pale greyish brown) - but this item is in the rarer turquoise colour.

Kon-Tiki Coffee Mug by Palissy Royal Worcester Green
in 2 collections
This green coffee mug is one in a much larger set of dishes in the "Kon-Tiki" line by Palissy Royal Worcester. The design features a stylized pattern of shields and spears. There were lots of different pieces: coffee and tea pots, plates, creamers, cake stands, pin dishes, mugs, cups, saucers, etc. There is also an identical set but in pinkish brown (taupe). Probably made in the 1950s, after the Kon-Tiki craze hit the popular consciousness. The saucer that accompanies the mug measures 12.5 cm/5" across.
