{HISTORY}

Made by the Hermann Ohme Porcelain factory in Silesia, Germany between 1900-1920, these delicate rose teacups feature the prettiest color palette. Hand-decorated in shades of blush, raspberry, pale butter, pale mint, dove grey and pine green, each cup is a gorgeously unique work of art. 

Operating from the early 1880s to 1930, Hermann Ohme produced a bevy of the prettiest German porcelain for the European, British, and American markets. Known for their two different porcelain glazes - Clear and Old Ivory, the Ohme factory manufactured complete dinnerware sets in a variety of patterns.

Ohme's Old Ivory glaze tinted the porcelain to produce a soft creamy shade while the clear glaze highlighted the natural bright white color of the porcelain clay. These cups feature the clear glaze with five hand-decorated roses that wrap around the outside rim and a hand-decorated leaf sprig on the inside rim. The handles are accented with gold paint and there's a delicate gold stripe around the exterior base of each cup.  

A successful pottery during its run, the downfall of Hermann Ohme ultimately was the Great Depression, when the export trade was significantly interrupted. By that time, most of Ohme's business relied on export relationships with other countries and when the economy collapsed, unfortunately so did this pottery. 

Lucky for us their beautiful dishes still remain. So pretty for spring garden parties, Mother's Day brunch and all the lovely tea gatherings in between, these 100-year-old cups will brighten the day with all sorts of cottage charm.
