“...coffee is not a postscript to dinner, but rather an essential part of the best and heartiest meals…” ~ Jane Nickerson, New York Times, 1951
One of the many great questions of the past half-century, is "whatever happened to the demitasse?" Once an essential ending to an evening meal, that final, single strong small cup of espresso coffee has all but disappeared.
With this charming demitasse cup and saucer from the historic Schumann potters of Germany, we very well may bring back the tradition of the after-dinner coffee. This dainty vintage demitasse cup and saucer is decorated in a charming, lush floral pattern reminiscent of the famed Dresden-style floral patterns of the 18th century. Featuring colorful florals and gleaming gold embellishments, this cup and saucer will be the perfect way to end the perfect evening meal with that perfect little cup of coffee!
Strictly limited quantities (a total of 10 cups and saucers are available ) and subject to prior sale. In very good vintage condition. Handwashing recommended. Cup Measures: 2.25"H x 3"W Saucer Measures: 4.25" in diameter.
