Beautiful antique German armorial porcelain tea cup and saucer set – matching pair, custom-made for the Kirk family. Each piece features a finely detailed hand-painted family crest, elegant purple violets, and delicate gold gilt trim. The warm ivory porcelain body and painterly decoration are characteristic of early 20th-century Bavarian export porcelain.
Armorial services were produced by skilled German workshops for private families rather than retail patterns, making matched sets increasingly difficult to find.
