Cup and saucer from a tea service c. 1928

This cup and saucer from a tea service is a beautiful example of the work of German artist Margarete Heymann-Marks Löbenstein. Designed in 1928, the piece exhibits the simple yet elegant aesthetic of the Art Deco movement. The cup is a simple, conical shape with a slightly rounded base, while the saucer is a plain disk. The handle of the cup is the most striking feature, composed of two rounded, bulbous forms. The cup and saucer are both crafted from white ceramic, enhancing the clean lines of the design. This piece showcases Löbenstein's talent for creating functional yet visually captivating objects, and it exemplifies the Art Deco appreciation for geometric forms and modern materials.
