This porcelain demitasse cup and saucer was produced in Germany by Meissen between 1924 to 1934. It has the crossed swords mark from the Pfeiffer period that is first quality. The “red and yellow squirrel” pattern is also known as the “flying fox” pattern due to the somewhat ambiguous characteristics of the animals. The pattern comes from a Japanese Kakiemon prototype made for export to Europe. On the set the animals inhabit a garden landscape where flowering and fruiting vines are held in check by rice straw fences. There are in existence many Meissen works with this pattern on a wide range of vessels. The cup and saucer are fluted to resemble the lotus flower with pattern painted in onglaze enamels. The rims and split branch handle are trimmed with gold.
