ABOUT PRODUCTID 23339
This set of six Italian espresso cups from the 1980s exemplifies the refined combination of porcelain and stainless steel. Each cup is crafted from matte white porcelain, adorned with a distinctive green botanical motif encircling the upper rim—a detail that echoes the aesthetics of late 1970s and early 1980s design. The cups gently flare towards the top and taper at the base, secured in polished, geometric stainless steel holders with angular profiles. Matching round saucers, also in highly reflective stainless steel, create a subtle contrast with the porcelain’s matte surface. The design is minimalist, with clear industrial inspiration evident in the clean lines and functional form. The construction feels solid and well-matched, with porcelain cups fitting snugly into their metal frames. The set is in good vintage condition, showing only minor surface scratches and typical signs of use, with no cracks or chips.These cups echo the voice of Italian modernism, which in the 1980s boldly merged classic motifs with a streamlined, contemporary sensibility. Cool steel and the organic porcelain pattern evoke the atmosphere of a Milanese café morning—where light dances across mirrored saucers and every sip of espresso is a small ritual. The set tells the story of an era that valued both function and understated decoration, balancing industrial simplicity with Italian flair.The set can be used as a refined accent in a collector’s coffee corner, displayed on a wooden tray or marble countertop. It pairs well with minimalist furniture or in eclectic interiors featuring retro elements—consider combining it with other striking metal or glass accessories. The cups and saucers will complement a mid-century modern coffee service, or serve as a counterpoint to classic ceramics and textiles.Each saucer measures 10 cm in diameter, with cups sized 6.5 × 6
