Art deco porcelain cup mirrored face

Art deco porcelain cup with mirrored face. The modeled cup rests on its saucer which prettyly illustrates the pool of water in which the figure is reflected. The character represented seems to come straight from an Italian comedy, or is it Narcissus? That handsome young man from mythology? Upon discovering his image in the water, he fell madly in love with it and lost himself in its reflection. The silver color of this model further highlights this romantic and dramatic scene.

We have 2 capacities, for coffee or tea. 260ml with the 14.5 cm saucer. 90/100ml with a saucer of approximately 10.8 cm.

The porcelain is richly pigmented in a single layer, resistant to washing in the dishwasher and the microwave, with a downside however for the silver color regarding the microwave.
