ABOUT PRODUCTID 19405
This mocha cup and saucer set from Rosenthal, crafted in Germany during the 1920s, exemplifies refined utilitarian porcelain of its era. The 'Donatello' model features high-gloss glazed porcelain in a subtly creamy, ivory-white tone. Decoration is provided by hand-painted motifs of yellow tea roses with softly blended pastel greens and yellows, arranged in a naturalistic garland inspired by Art Nouveau. Gold accents appear as a fine gilded line on the cup and saucer edges, and a fully gilded, angular handle. The cup (height: 4.5 cm, diameter: 8 cm, length: 10.5 cm) sits in balanced harmony with the wide saucer (diameter: 13 cm); both components display precise construction and a fluid, ergonomic form. The set is preserved in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration and the gilding remains bright with only minimal age-appropriate wear.Porcelain of this period evokes a decade when lush Art Nouveau ornament was converging with the onset of modernism. One imagines the decorator's brush poised in studio light, lending the floral motifs a sense of botanical freshness and subtle energy—each rose and leaf a quiet testament to the intersection of artistry and German craft precision. Gold accents gently catch the light, recalling daily rituals of the 1920s: the scent of strong mocha, a moment’s pause over porcelain that unites beauty and purpose.This set could be used for an authentic espresso moment in a classic kitchen setting or as a collectible accent displayed in a glass cabinet or on a shelf. It pairs naturally with light table linens, vintage silverware, or period glassware for a
