This mid-century cup and saucer set is a fine example of German porcelain infused with the spirit of Art Nouveau.

The handle is slender and gently curved, finished with a fine line of gold that repeats along the rims. The proportions are classic: the cup flares gently outward, the saucer is broad and shallow, and the surface is smooth and lustrous.

The glossy surface reflects light, heightening the vibrancy of colors and the brilliance of the
