Description

View 6 Vtg 1950s Rosenthal Selb Germany Gray Porcelain Espresso Demitasse Cups Gold with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Each cup showcases the distinctive Rosenthal crown backstamp and factory marking on the base, along with handwritten artist initials. Up for sale is a beautiful vintage set of six (6) mid-century modern demitasse espresso cups manufactured by the renowned Rosenthal factory in Selb, Germany. Dating precisely to the 1950s (circa 1953–1956), these elegant porcelain cups feature a striking, sleek matte grey exterior finish contrasted by a clean white interior and a delicate, hand-applied gold-trimmed rim. Each cup showcases the distinctive Rosenthal crown backstamp and factory marking on the base, along with handwritten artist initials. This lot includes the six cups only—there are no matching saucers included. They are in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or flea bites, making them a perfect replacement addition to an existing set or a stunning standalone addition to any mid-century kitchen collection. Please review all photos for exact details on condition and markings. This specific configuration of the classic "classic crown and crossed lines" logo with dots dates the cups to the 1950s (specifically between 1953 and 1956). Rosenthal deliberately added subtle combinations of dots, dashes, and lines around the factory location names to code the precise production years. The single tiny dot positioned directly beneath the word "GERMANY" confirms these were produced at the main Selb-GA (German-American export branch) facility. Condition: Used.
