This tea set from Altrohlau, produced in the 1920s in the First Czechoslovak Republic, is designed for four people and includes a teapot, a sugar bowl, and four cups with saucers. Each piece is crafted from thin, white glazed porcelain and decorated with a richly colored 'imari' pattern, featuring floral and foliate motifs in shades of blue, orange, yellow, green, and white. The rims, handles, and interiors of the cups are finished with a combination of matte and polished gilding. The geometric handles and the tall cylindrical shape of the teapot reflect the 'empire' style with neoclassical proportions. The set is marked with the Altrohlau factory stamp and has been preserved in very good condition, with only minor gilding wear consistent with age. The porcelain evokes the atmosphere of early twentieth-century Central European gatherings, where the richness of the pattern and the shine of gold recall the ritual of afternoon tea. The composition radiates a sense of calm and certainty in form, while the density of the decoration lends a ceremonial character to daily routines. The porcelain's delicacy and the play of light on its glazed surface conjure the subtle sound of a cup returned to its saucer, as if capturing a timeless moment of shared presence. The set can be displayed on a classic sideboard or in a glass-fronted cabinet, where its pattern and gilding are highlighted by natural light. It may be combined with textiles in deep colors—burgundy, navy, or bottle green—and with simple, solid ceramics or glassware to emphasize the intricacy of the decoration. It works well for formal tea service or as a detail accentuating the personality of a living or dining room inspired by the 1920s, neoclassicism, or eclectic interiors with vintage elements.
