Two footed cups from the Carl Tielsch Altwasser factory in Silesia — the same dark floral border, the same hand-painted confidence, the same gold handles as the companion pieces in this collection.
Maker: Carl Tielsch Altwasser (blank); American china painting (decoration)
Condition: Mixed antique — one cup excellent; one cup has a small chip on underside of handle, photographed, price reflects it. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
A beautiful pair for a collector, a display, or a gift for someone who loves things with a layered story. Lovely for a birthday, anniversary, or housewarming.
Each cup is its own object, made to be held and admired, from an era when china painting was both a social ritual and a genuine art form. Carl Tielsch Altwasser was a distinguished Silesian porcelain manufacturer whose blanks found their way into American homes via china painting clubs — communities of educated women who imported European blanks and painted them with botanical precision. The resulting pieces crossed two continents and a century to get here. We also carry a set of 5 EPIAG cups and one single EPIAG cup with the same floral border.
