Finely crafted from delicate, translucent porcelain, the set includes six coffee cups and six matching saucers, offering service for six persons.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach cup and saucer is decorated with a striking rose-pink ground, shimmering gilded details, and finely hand-painted scenes of two grouse birds. The saucers are painted with charming multicoloured butterflies, reflecting the artistry and attention to detail typical of the finest European porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pieces bear a gold anchor mark, referencing the Chelsea porcelain factory of the 18th century, and one cup also displays a partially concealed Victoria mark beneath a rose motif. The elegant shape of the handles, the layout of the decoration, and the romantic naturalistic scenes evoke the refinement and beauty of Chelsea porcelain, while maintaining the distinctive style of Victoria Austria.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe rich rose background, accented with gold and soft natural colours, makes this set an exceptional collector's item and a luxurious decorative accent, perfect for traditional, eclectic, or classical interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHistorical background\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Victoria Porcelain Factory was founded in 1883 in Karlsbad (now Karlovy Vary) by Lazarus \u0026amp; Rosenfeld Ltd., later purchased by Franz Schmidt in 1885 and renamed Porzellanfabrik Victoria Schmidt \u0026amp; Co.
