ABOUT PRODUCTID 19406
This English Art Deco mocha cup and saucer, made in the 1920s-1930s, exemplifies refined period craftsmanship in thin, bright white porcelain. Both cup and saucer are hexagonal, echoing the geometric, architectural tendencies of Art Deco, with crisply defined lines and subtle, softened corners. A wide, glossy gold band follows the edges, catching light and attention, while an intricate black floral ornament – precisely hand-painted – encircles the upper rim of both pieces, providing stark, decorative contrast. The cup’s handle is fully gilded, as are vertical gold bands that visually tie the rim to the base. The saucer mirrors these design motifs, reinforcing the geometric and ornamental coherence of the set. Surfaces throughout are smooth and highly polished, with no signs of wear, damage, or restoration; the set remains in very good condition, retaining its original gloss and clarity.This cup and saucer tell the story of interwar optimism and the confident geometry of Art Deco’s early years. The silhouette – all symmetry and clean lines – captures the streamlined ambitions of the 1920s, where luxury and function met on the everyday table. Polished gilt relays an era enamored with brilliant surfaces and visual rhythm, while the black floral band references the lingering decorative traditions from the end of the previous century, translated here into the new modern order.The piece could serve as a distinguished highlight in a carefully set table, especially within arrangements that emphasize architectural symmetry or contrasts in material and finish. It pairs well with period silverware or geometric glass dishes. One may juxtapose it with minimalist modern porcelain to accentuate its decorative presence, or place it on a dark tablecloth to bring out the vibrancy of its gilding and the precision of its form.
