Nymphenburg - Kaffee- und Teeservice (4) - Hand-Painted Tea Set for Two - Porzellan

Ein Hauch frühzeitlicher Nymphenburg-Eleganz — dafür gemacht, benutzt zu werden, nicht versteckt zu bleiben.
Refined porcelain for those who appreciate beauty in everyday rituals.

A delicate tea set for two from the prestigious Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg (Munich), dating to the early 20th century.

The set features a graceful shell-shaped form with soft fluting and elegantly curved handles — a sculptural design that feels light in hand and visually refined.

Each piece is decorated with hand-painted floral motifs in the traditional style of Deutsche Blumenmalerei, complemented by finely applied gold rims.

Unlike many antique porcelain pieces that remain purely decorative, this set offers a rare balance - historical craftsmanship combined with genuine usability today.

The cups are comfortably sized — well suited not only for tea, but also for a small cappuccino — making them ideal for modern everyday use with a sense of aesthetic pleasure.
