Sontag & Söhne demitasse Teacup and Saucer Set

Fall down the rabbit hole with this whimsical, antique Sontag & Söhne demitasse teacup and saucer set that looks like it jumped straight out of a Mad Hatter’s tea party! Crafted in Thuringia, Germany, between 1926 and 1930, this stunning set features a vibrant robin's egg blue glazed body perfectly contrasted against a crisp white porcelain interior. The hand-painted, heavy gold gilt scrolling along the borders frames a unique, stylized 12-point scalloped pattern on the saucer that mirrors an eccentric "eyelash" and loop design along the rim of the cup. The petite, elegant cabinet cup stands at an approximate height of 2.0 inches (5.0 cm) with a rim diameter of 1.8 inches (4.5 cm), while the matching, highly decorated saucer stretches approximately 4.8 inches (12.2 cm) in diameter. Free of chips, cracks, or heavy crazing, this rare, hand-painted Weimar-era treasure showcases the stamped "S&S 1812" eagle mark on the base, making it an enchanting, curiosities-filled addition to any Alice in Wonderland inspired display or high-end porcelain collection.
