Description from the seller

Important Art Deco coffee service in iridescent porcelain – Union K, Czechoslovakia, circa 1930

Magnificent and rare Art Deco coffee service in fine porcelain from Czechoslovakia, Union K manufacture, dating from the interwar period (circa 1925-1935).

The set stands out for its remarkable iridescent pale-yellow lustre glaze (« lustreware ») and its faceted geometric shapes typical of the Art Deco movement. The architectural lines of the coffee pot, the sugar bowl, and the milk jug perfectly illustrate the modernist aesthetic of that era.

Contents of the lot:

* 1 coffee pot with its lid
* 1 sugar bowl with its lid
* 1 milk jug
* 12 cups
* 12 saucers

Total: 27 pieces

Mark under the pieces: Union K – Made in Czechoslovakia.

Overall condition: very good given the age of the set. Beautiful shine of the iridescent glaze. Please examine the photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.

This elegant service is a prized piece for collectors of Art Deco, European porcelain, or Czechoslovak ceramics from the early 20th century.

Careful shipping with reinforced packaging in multiple parcels if necessary to ensure safe transport.
