Set of two coffee cups with their respective saucers from the famous French manufactory Sarreguemines.
Made of high-quality fine earthenware (demi-porcelaine or opaque), these pieces feature the historic printed stamp "Opaque de Sarreguemines" under the base, a mark used by Utzschneider & Cie in the late 19th century. The decoration stands out for its refined Chinoiserie style, reflecting the European fascination of the era with Eastern aesthetics, meticulously depicting pagodas, bridges, stylized trees, and detailed geometric borders in rust, yellow, green, and black tones.
