Schumann Bavaria Empress Dresden Cup/Saucer Set, US Zone, 1946-1949

Following WW2, allied-occupied Germany was partitioned with the southern US zone controlling the Bavarian region. This delicate looking, yet having a sturdy porcelain feel cup and saucer set was thus manufactured during the US Occupation.

Blue, pink, yellow, red, and violet flowers, along with bold green leaf detail, are set against a very white background, lightly embossed near the rim, as stripe and scrolled gold trim adds bright elegance to this rococo-styled pair.

Origin: Germany/Bavaria; pre-owned

Dimensions: Cup-2 1/8"H x 3 1/2"W opening

                    Saucer- 5 3/4"W

Condition: Very Good. There is some light wear to the gold edge trims from age; the gold is still intact. Some storage spots to the underside of the saucer are noted (see photo).

This set set is clean with no chips, cracks, or crazing. The detail is sharp and the colors are vivid. The glaze is nicely polished with no wear.
