Two antique Meissen "Blue Onion" coffee cups with saucer in hand-painted porcelain. Early 20th century. The cup measures: 8.5 x 6.2 cm. The saucer measures: 13.5 cm. Stamped. In very good condition. 2nd factory quality. The Meissen "onion" pattern was originally named the "bulb" pattern. While modeled closely after a pattern first produced by Chinese porcelain painters, which featured pomegranates unfamiliar in Saxony, the plates and bowls produced in the Meissen factory in 1740 adopted a feel that was distinctly their own. More than 200 pieces on stock, complete lunch & dinner service for 24 p. serving pieces, coffee service and much more.
