AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rosenthal "Helena" Tea Cup Set – Artist-Signed Hand-Painted Wildlife (1945–1949)
A rare and exquisite set of tea cups and saucers from the renowned Rosenthal manufactory (Selb-Germany). This set features the elegant, minimalist "Helena" shape, serving as a canvas for high-quality wildlife art.
• Hand-Painted Artistry: Each cup is decorated with detailed, hand-painted animals — a fox and a capercaillie (wood grouse).
• Botanical Saucers: The saucers complement the theme with delicate illustrations of spruce (or fir) branches and juniper with berries.
• Color Palette: The drawings are executed in sophisticated gray-green (graphite) tones, creating a modern, botanical-etched aesthetic on pure white porcelain.
• Artist Signature: All pieces are artist-signed with initials, confirming their status as unique hand-painted works rather than mass-produced transfers.
• Period: Circa 1945–1949 (Selb-Germany mark).
• Condition: Mint/Investment condition. It appears the set was never used. No chips, cracks, crazing, or signs of wear.
This set is a superb example of post-war German porcelain art, perfect for those who appreciate hunting motifs and clean, timeless design.
