Cup and saucer (3) - Porcelain

Exclusive Collection of 3 Vintage/Antique Porcelain Teacups and Saucers - Floral, Empire, and Silver-Mounted Styles ​Description: A sophisticated lot of three diverse porcelain cups and saucers, perfect for collectors of fine European ceramics. This set showcases different artistic periods and decorative techniques: ​Floral Scalloped Teacup: An elegant piece featuring "Deutsche Blumen" (German flowers) style hand-painted floral sprigs. The cup and saucer boast a delicate scalloped rim highlighted with fine gold gilding. ​Empire-Style Neoclassical Cup: A cylindrical "Litron" shape cup decorated with intricate gold leaf patterns and geometric borders. The rich gilding and structured design reflect the classic 19th-century European aesthetic. ​Silver-Mounted Demitasse: A unique espresso/coffee cup featuring a laurel leaf gilt band, nestled in a beautifully crafted silver-tone metal holder (likely silver-plated or silver) with an architectural handle. In details. 1) Rare 18th Century Meissen "Marcolini Period" Teacup and Saucer – Hand-Painted "Deutsche Blumen" Description: An exquisite and rare porcelain teacup and saucer from the renowned Meissen manufactory, dating to the celebrated Marcolini Period (1774–1814). The set features a delicate lobed or "scalloped" shape, expertly hand-painted with vibrant floral sprigs in the "Deutsche Blumen" style. Each flower is rendered with botanical precision and artistic flair, characteristic of the late 18th-century Enlightenment period. Both pieces are finished with a fine hand-gilded rim. Markings: Underglaze blue crossed swords with a star/dot between the hilts, identifying the Marcolini directorship. Condition: Excellent antique condition, no chips or cracks. Minor age-related wear to the gilding. 2) Vintage Hutschenreuther Neoclassical Porcelain Teacup & Saucer - Gilded Musical Trophy Decor Description: A stunning mid-20th-century porcelain teacup and saucer by the renowned German manufacturer Lorenz Hutschenreuther (Selb). This set features a classic cylindrical "Litron" shape, heavily decorated in a Neoclassical revival style. The central motif depicts a "Musical Trophy" including a lyre, pan flute, and trumpets, framed by delicate laurel wreaths and geometric gold patterns. The rich gilding is applied with great precision, typical of Hutschenreuther’s premium production. Markings: Green underglaze mark "Lorenz Hutschenreuther - Germany" with the lion logo (dating 1955–1969). It also features a hand-painted signature/pattern name in gold on the bottom. Style: Neoclassical / Empire Revival. Condition: Excellent vintage condition, very well preserved gilding with minimal signs of use. 3) Antique Limoges Porcelain Demitasse Cup with 800 Solid Silver Holder & Saucer Description: A rare and elegant French demitasse (coffee) cup and saucer. The porcelain insert is crafted from fine white Limoges porcelain, decorated with a hand-gilded laurel leaf band. The cup is housed in a beautifully embossed 800 solid silver holder featuring a classical foliate border and a distinctive geometric handle. The saucer also features matching silver-toned accents/rims. Markings: Porcelain marked "Limoges France - Unique". Silver holder hallmarked "800" for solid silver. Condition: Excellent condition. The silver has a natural patina that can be polished to a mirror shine if desired. No damage to the porcelain. Dimensions: Demitasse size, perfect for espresso.
