Cup and saucer from a tea service c. 1930

This cup and saucer from a tea service, designed by Margarete Heymann-Marks Löbenstein around 1930, showcases the artist's modernist approach to ceramics. The simple, elegant form and off-white glaze are characteristic of the Bauhaus movement, which emphasized functionality and clean lines. The whimsical, rounded handles add a touch of playful whimsy to the otherwise minimalist design, making it a perfect example of Bauhaus-era design. This piece is now part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering a glimpse into the artistry and evolution of ceramic design in the early 20th century.
