ABOUT PRODUCTID 6217
This set of five coffee cups with saucers, produced by the Mitterteich manufactory in Germany in the 1970s, exemplifies porcelain rooted in the Space Age movement. Each cup is crafted from smooth, glossy white porcelain, providing a neutral background for vibrant geometric decoration. The design features concentric oval shapes in shades of orange and red, with a central accent of purple, creating a gradient color effect. The cups have a cylindrical shape with straight sides and a small, angular handle, paired with round saucers featuring a gently raised rim—together evoking the minimalist, geometric aesthetic characteristic of the 1970s. The porcelain is in very good vintage condition, with no visible damage or significant signs of use. This coffee set tells the story of a decade in which design looked toward the future, inspired by space exploration and technological advancement. The contrast of bold colors and rhythmic oval motifs recalls the era’s fascination with dynamic forms and expressive palettes. The Mitterteich cups seem to invite one into the world of the seventies, when coffee was enjoyed under the glow of futuristic lamps and every detail promised a taste of modernity. This set would work well either as a collector’s display or on a contemporary living room table inspired by mid-century or eclectic interiors. It can be paired with monochrome ceramics in white or black, glass carafes with flowing forms, or simple chrome accessories to emphasize the geometric quality of the decoration. Consider combining the cups with subdued textiles or abstract wall art for a subtle reference to Space Age aesthetics.
