Majolica Floral Teacup and Saucer with Turquoise Glaze
- Description
- Condition & Authenticity
A richly glazed majolica teacup and saucer that knows it’s far too beautiful to be ordinary. The exterior is finished in a warm brown glaze adorned with raised floral motifs, while the interior reveals a luminous turquoise glaze that pools inside the cup like something you shouldn’t stare at for too long. The matching saucer mirrors the sculptural relief, creating a cohesive composition that feels intentional, indulgent, and slightly theatrical.
Blurring the line between functional tableware and decorative art, this piece reflects the European tradition of ceramics designed to charm, impress, and quietly show off. It’s perfect for display in a cabinet, styled on open shelving, or placed on a table where it immediately becomes the most interesting thing in the room even when empty.
And while it can hold tea, let’s be honest: this cup prefers an audience. It encourages slower sipping, dramatic pauses, and the kind of conversations that drift off-topic. Whimsical yet refined, it embodies EuroTrash elegance with a playful, collected sensibility; proof that even the smallest objects can have main-character energy.
Our collection consists primarily of antique, vintage, and curated objects.
Each piece reflects the passage of time through natural wear, patina, surface variation, and material aging. These characteristics are not considered flaws, but integral to the object’s history, authenticity, and character.
Minor imperfections, variations, and signs of age are inherent to vintage and antique pieces and contribute to their uniqueness and individuality. We celebrate these qualities as part of the beauty of collected interiors and heritage objects.
All sales are final. Due to the nature of antique and vintage items, returns and exchanges are not accepted. We encourage clients to review all descriptions and images carefully and to reach out with any questions prior to purchase.
