This cup and saucer set from the 1950s, crafted in Germany, represents post-war European decorative porcelain with clear Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) influences. It features broad, pastel pink bands with a diamond pattern encircling snow-white porcelain, accented by intricate gilded scrolls and stylized botanical motifs. The centerpiece is a hand-painted bouquet of flowers in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and violet, encircled by gold detailing. The handle is delicately shaped, and the harmonious proportions of both cup and saucer reflect the mid-century European aesthetic. The porcelain surface is smooth and lustrous, with no visible signs of use, loss, or restoration. Condition: very good, with all decorative elements original and showing no fading or damage.This porcelain set speaks of post-war Germany’s longing for harmony and the beauty of pre-war years, as Art Nouveau-inspired decoration returned as a symbol of gentleness. Pastel tones and rich gilding evoke memories of breakfasts enjoyed over fine porcelain, with soft light reflecting off glossy surfaces. The hand-painted flowers, surrounded by gold ornaments, quietly invite a moment of pause and conversation—reminding us that everyday rituals can become a celebration of tradition and subtle artistry.The set can be displayed in classic glass cabinets alongside silver spoons and embroidered linens in a living or dining room. It would also serve as a refined accent within eclectic interiors where historical elements meet contemporary design. The pastel and gold details are best highlighted under gentle, diffused lighting—such as near a lamp with an opal glass shade—and complemented by floral arrangements and a light tablecloth to bring out the set’s decorative qualities.
