Hutschenreuther Selb Bavaria Porcelain Teacup/ Saucer 18 pc Set White/Gold Decor
This is not standard painted gilding; it features an incredible heavy acid-etched gold technique (Radierung). Factory artisans deeply etched classical neo-classical laurel tendrils, scrolling vines, geometric borders, and starburst florets directly into the porcelain body before overlaying thick, luxurious bands of high-purity gold leaf-burnishing it to a majestic mirror-bright finish. An absolutely stunning, investment-grade collector's piece that catches the light beautifully from every angle. Markings & Identification: Underglaze Base Stamp: Green oval crest featuring the C. " shield, flanked by the factory's milestone dates 1814 and 1914, marked "Hutschenreuther Hohenberg Bavaria.
