Description
Up for consideration is an authentic KPM Krister demitasse cup and saucer set, expertly crafted in Waldenburg, Silesia between 1925–1945. This exquisite European porcelain piece features a deep burgundy/maroon exterior heavily accented with bright hand-applied gold gilt and a delicate, vibrant floral bouquet centered on both pieces. The saucer is particularly striking with its elegant reticulated (pierced) openwork rim, making it an ideal accent for historic tea service, espresso displays, or curated vintage home decor.
This single-serve set is in excellent vintage condition, completely free of chips, cracks, or crazing. The high-gloss glaze remains fully intact, and the hand-painted details along with the gold accents are remarkably bright, showing only minimal natural wear consistent with age. Both the cup and saucer bear the verified factory-stamped dark ink three-pronged crown mark beneath the foot rings, confirming its legitimate Art Deco-era production. Slight toning on the foot rings is authentic to the period and does not affect structural integrity or display value.
Perfect for collectors of mid-century German porcelain, Art Deco enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a refined accent for antique displays, shelf styling, or special occasion coffee service. This demitasse set brings timeless cross-border craftsmanship to your collection while offering excellent provenance, enduring beauty, and immediate vintage charm.
