ABOUT PRODUCTID 19262
The TK Thun coffee cup and saucer originate from 1950s Czechoslovakia and are crafted from refined porcelain featuring a lively, high-gloss chartreuse glaze—a vibrant yellow-green characteristic of the mid-century modern era. The smooth, lustrous surface is accented by precise gilt details: the cup's handle is fully finished in a mirror-like gold, while delicately thin gold bands border the rim of the cup and saucer. The saucer's white porcelain center is framed by an additional slender gold circle, providing visual contrast and reinforcing the sense of thoughtful design. The overall form is elegantly rounded, with a gently flared rim, petite base, and sensuously shaped handle, a testament to the TK Thun manufactory's attention to proportion and craftsmanship. Condition: very good, with no visible damage or loss, the set remains fully authentic.This cup, a product of the modernist optimism of the 1950s, tells a story of postwar renewal—when even small objects of daily life reflected a zest for color and a search for accessible beauty. Its contours invite the hand, while the chartreuse glaze and golden accents evoke memories of bright breakfast tables or refined gatherings over coffee. The gold glides along the handle, turning the simple ritual of drinking coffee into a tactile ceremony that bridges the past and present.The set could serve as a functional highlight for a classic breakfast table or as a collector's piece displayed in a glass cabinet or on an open shelf within a mid-century-inspired dining area. It might pair well with other period porcelain—especially those with strong colors or minimalist forms—or create a striking contrast alongside contemporary, understated ceramics. Consider combining it with gilded glassware or pastel textiles to bring out its original tone and historical character.
