ABOUT PRODUCTID 19402
This mocha cup and saucer set, produced in Austria between 1820 and 1840, is a refined example of Biedermeier porcelain art. Crafted from thin, crisp white porcelain, it features a subtle glossy sheen and is hand-painted with vivid cobalt blue arabesque and geometric motifs. These ornate patterns are complemented by small gold leaf details and further gilded accents, lending the set a sense of cultivated luxury.
