Antique KPM Krister Gold Gilt German Motto & Leaves Tea Cup & Saucer C1840-1895
Nice
Victorian porcelain tea cup and saucer. Decorated with gold gilt leaves
and tendrils framing a German motto on the cup, which I have not been
able to make out or translate. Has gold gilding along the inner rim,
foot rim, and edge of the saucer. Marked on the bottom with a blue
underglaze line above KPM. This mark was used by Krister between 1840
and 1895.
Has a lot of wear to the gilding, but otherwise good condition with no chips or cracks.
The cup measures approximately 4 3/8 inches wide including the handle x 2 1/2 inches tall.
The saucer measures approximately 5 5/8 inches wide.
This is an antique and may have small in manufacture defects that do not affect the display of the piece.
