ABOUT PRODUCTID 23341
This set of four Italian espresso cups from the 1980s embodies a modernist approach to classic forms. Each cup is crafted from smooth, white porcelain with a cool undertone, shaped in a minimalist, cylindrical silhouette that emphasizes geometric clarity. The metallic holders and saucers, made from brass with a warm, satin-matte finish, display a natural patina with subtle color variations ranging from golden brown to deeper bronze, accentuating the genuine vintage character. Four simple spoons complete the set, while the gently rounded handles of the cups are seamlessly integrated into the design. The proportions are compact: the cup measures 6.5 x 5 cm, and the saucer has a diameter of 10.5 cm. The set remains in good condition, with authentic, minor traces of use and age but no significant damage.This set tells the story of Italian espresso culture at the turn of the late 20th century: it evokes the rhythm of urban cafés where porcelain met the cool touch of metal, and the daily ritual of coffee gained a geometric discipline. The patina on the brass elements recalls the glow of the 1980s, an era when modernity sought dialogue with tradition, and each cup seems to whisper of mornings in Milan or Turin, where design and function were inseparable.The set works well in both classic interiors with vintage accents and in modern, eclectic arrangements. It may be paired with a marble tray, a minimalist coffee pot, or glassware, creating material combinations typical of Italian modernism. For added effect, one could use neutral-toned textile napkins to highlight the contrast between the porcelain’s white and the brass’s warmth. The set is suitable for intimate gatherings as well as a display detail on an open kitchen or living room shelf.
