Beautiful Bavarian Porcelain Demitasse Cup and Saucer ~ Hand Painted with Colorful Designs ~ Kronach ~ Rosenthal Bavaria 1896-1907

This is a very uniquely decorated set and mold not the ordinary for Rosenthal in my opinion. The little cup has a fluted lower portion that smoothes out and flares upward. The saucer has a nice raised star shaped design around the well. On a white background beautiful designs of hot pink, royal blue and yellow have been painted on the saucer and the inside of the cups sides. On the inside bottom of the cup and around the well of the saucer have rings of yellow, pink and blue. The cups footing has bands of pink and blue. The outside of the cup have blue stars scattered on the white background. The set has been finished off with nice gold rims and gold handle. This set is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Manufacturing anomalies may exist, the occasional tiny iron speck, dust 'bump' in the glaze, etc.
