Demitasse Cup and Saucer c. 1888

This "Demitasse Cup and Saucer" was crafted by the renowned glassmakers, J. & L. Lobmeyr, in 1888. The delicate pink glass of the set is adorned with intricate painted designs of leaves and flowers, showcasing the art of enameling. The cup and saucer are both delicately shaped and feature a whimsical, almost organic aesthetic, reflecting the artistic trends of the late 19th century. The set, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is a fine example of Lobmeyr's masterful craftsmanship in glass and enamel.
