This espresso cup and saucer set, produced in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, embodies refined mid-century modern porcelain craftsmanship. Crafted from fine, thin porcelain with a softly matte, lavender-violet glaze, the exterior of both the cup and saucer shows a smooth and even color application. Hand-applied, gleaming gold accents define the rim, base, and slender, sculpted handle of the cup, as well as the edge and central ring of the saucer. Inside, pure bright white porcelain lends a crisp contrast and highlights the purity of the material. The cup’s subtly undulating lip, delicate proportions, and scalloped-toed base recall the elegance typical of mid-century Karlsbad porcelain. The set is free from additional decorations, focusing on balance of color and clarity of shape. The porcelain is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, rubbing to the gilding, cracks, or discoloration; all gold details are intact and lustrous.The form and finish of this cup quietly evoke the optimistic spirit of the 1950s, when pastel hues and subtle gilding signaled a return to intimate, everyday luxuries after austere decades. Its gently flared rim and slender handle speak to a care for detail—a vessel designed
