Antique Hirsch Dresden Tea Cup & Saucer, Scenic, Elaborate Gilding

  

CONDITION: But for a little wear to gilding around the well of the saucer, this set is in excellent condition. This porcelain tea cup and saucer was produced in Germany by the Franziska Hirsch Dresden studio in the 1890s. The saucer measures 6 1/8 inches in diameter. The cup is 2 inches tall with a diameter of 4 inches. The rims of the cup and saucer is serpentine style.

The cup features a molded pedestal base. The ground color is Pompadour pink. The interior of the cup has a hand painted Watteau scene of lovers in a garden. The wide pink border is encrusted with elaborate raised gilding that is hand applied. The outside of the cup is pink, accented with raised gold flowers and buds.

The rims and handle are trimmed with gold. This is a delicious confection of antique porcelain.
