Rare Victoria Austria Porcelain Coffee Set For 6, Chelsea Style, Rose And Gold, Early 20th C

Rare Victoria Austria 12-piece coffee cup and saucer set for 6 persons, Chelsea style, early 20th century

This rare antique porcelain coffee set was produced by Victoria Austria around the early 20th century. Finely crafted from delicate, translucent porcelain, the set comprises six coffee cups and six matching saucers, offering service for six persons. Each piece features a striking rose-pink ground with gilded details and finely hand-painted scenes of two grouse birds, while the saucers are decorated with charming multicoloured butterflies.

The cups and saucers bear a gold anchor mark, a motif associated with the famous Chelsea porcelain factory of the 18th century. One cup also shows a partially concealed Victoria mark beneath a rose design, blending historic Chelsea styling with Victoria Austria’s exquisite craftsmanship. The shape of the handles, decoration layout, and delicate painting evoke the elegance and artistry of 18th-century Chelsea porcelain.

The warm rose-pink ground, accented by shimmering gilding and romantic naturalistic motifs, makes this set ideal for antique porcelain collectors, European porcelain enthusiasts, or as a luxurious decorative accent in both traditional and eclectic interiors.

Historical background
The Victoria Porcelain Factory was established in 1883 in Karlsbad (now Karlovy Vary) by Lazarus & Rosenfeld Ltd., later purchased by Franz Schmidt in 1885 and renamed Porzellanfabrik Victoria Schmidt & Co. The manufactory became renowned for its refined porcelain tea sets, coffee services, dinner wares, and decorative pieces. Incorporating delicate painting, elegant gilding, and traditional European motifs, Victoria Austria porcelain remains highly sought after for its quality and artistic value. In the mid-20th century, it was integrated into Thun Karlovarský Porcelán.
