“Rococo Ruby” Porcelain Teacup and Saucer by Hutschenreuther

The “Rococo Ruby” teacup and saucer by Hutschenreuther embodies the refined grandeur of early 20th-century European porcelain. Its deep ruby luster, paired with radiant gold gilding, creates a dramatic contrast against the crisp white porcelain. The fluted pedestal base and heart-shaped handle lend a sculptural charm — a delicate nod to rococo revival elegance. The lustrous glaze within the cup radiates warmth, while the saucer’s matching band harmonizes the set with a sense of timeless luxury.

This piece speaks of a period when craftsmanship met artistry, where even an afternoon tea became an aesthetic ritual.
