Description: Demitasse (dem-E-tas) is French for "half cup". This small coffee cup holds about 2 to 3 fluid ounces (60 to 90 milliliters). They are half the size of a regular coffee cup, hence the name "half cup", and is in perfect condition. The photo shows the color as it is (though some computers may have different settings for color). This cup and saucer has a wide blue ribbon on white bone china with gold trim and filigree designs. The handle of the cup has been painted gold and has zero signs of wear. I am unable to find the name of this particular design in the Rosenthal gallery. Philipp Rosenthal (1855-1937) began business in Germany in 1884. Initially he purchased white ware from the company Hutschenreuther which was resold door to door after being hand-painted by his wife Maria. In 1891, he established a factory in Asch, Bohemia and began production of his own white ware. From 1897 to 1934, Rosenthal acquired further factories in Kronach, Marktredwitz, Selb, Waldenburg, Sophienthal, and Waldershof. The Marktredwitz factory acquisition in 1908 included the brand name Thomas. During the latter part of 1934 the Rosenthal family came under significant pressure from the growth of German Nationalism which ultimately lead to the family having no participation in the management of the company. Philipp Rosenthal was exiled in 1935 at which time the Rosenthal company employed more than 5,000 people across 10 different companies. He died in 1937 following which the family emigrated abroad. Measures: Saucer - 4 1/2" diameter. Cup - 2 5/8 diameter (at lip), 1 3/4" H. Overall height 2" (with cup and saucer together). Condition: These two pieces, cup and saucer, have zero signs of wear, and have not been used. The are in like-new condition, with no scratches or marks of any kind noting use. 10/10 condition rating.
