ABOUT PRODUCTID 17028
The 'Butterfly' coffee cup with saucer, Donatello model from Rosenthal, is an example of fine German porcelain from the 1920s, made of thin-walled, translucent, high-quality porcelain. The set is decorated with a hand-painted, polychrome band of tea roses in shades of deep pink, violet, orange, and yellow, complemented by leaf-green accents arranged in a geometric pattern along the edges of both cup and saucer. The ornamentation references the Art Deco style: undulating gold contours combine the era’s dynamic flair with artisan precision. Gilding highlights the rims and the delicately curved handle, lending coherence to a form that is both light and balanced—a low, broad cup (height 4.7 cm, diameter 6.3 cm, length with handle 8.3 cm) and a flat, wide saucer with a diameter of 11.8 cm. The porcelain is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of use, chipping, or wear to either gilding or decoration. This cup echoes the pulse of the interwar years—an era when Rosenthal set new standards for luxury and artistic craftsmanship. Its shape and subtly iridescent gold suggest elegant breakfasts and quiet conversations in the modernist salons of the 1920s. The rose motif, composed like a light sketch, and the geometric borders evoke the Art Deco mood: discipline in lines meets decorative softness. This object carries the silent mornings and rituals passed through generations. The 'Butterfly' cup is best suited for arrangements featuring light fabrics, geometric forms, or classic 1920s furniture. It may be paired with a minimalist glass tiered tray, a matching porcelain pot, or cutlery with slender contours, highlighting
