Collectibles : Cup And Saucer Sets

 

Timeless beauty and perfection of the highest standards. Rosenthal signifies nothing more and nothing less. This most exquisite Demitasse set, of the Sanssouci design c.1938, offers a sense of tradition coupled with the avant-garde that is the underlying principle behind Rosenthal AG.

This cup and saucer defines artistic intrigue. Upon creamy white porcelain, the round cup with angular handle displays the finest floral details that resemble Dresden Rose. The delicate floral transfer pattern accentuate the Sanssouci detailing. The raised porcelain pattern features heavy scrolling and leaves. Each single flower sits upon a raised ‘trellis’ and the result is captivating. The cup and saucer are trimmed in gilt; the saucer has a scalloped edge with an indented pattern.

Whether this fabulous piece becomes a cabinet set or featured at your next dinner party, it is sure to become a family heirloom.

SANSSOUCI is the oldest Rosenthal design still in use. It was first launched in 1894. The history of the origin of this design is closely associated with Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam and with Frederic the Great. It is the perfect example of quality "Made by Rosenthal": fine, translucent porcelain, lavishly made designs/reliefs and a wealth of decorative designs, some hand-painted.

As the company evolved, Rosenthal worked closely together with about 1000 artists, designers, architects, couturiers and prominent people from all over the world. More than 400 awards and numerous references in international museums are proof of the creative competence achieved in shape and pattern evolved. The brand name Rosenthal today stands for international lifestyle. Rosenthal has been an extraordinary faceted company now over 125 years. With its fascinating brands it is seen as one of the world's leading producers of up-to-date, innovative design for the well-laid table, for furniture and for giftware available in 97 countries around the globe.
