Kupper, New York, circa 1933–1942.

Each piece features a warm ivory glaze with an intricate gold filigree and scroll border, and raised beaded gilt rim, showcasing the refined American craftsmanship of the late Art Deco era. This is a fine ceramic ware with a high-gloss glaze and hand-applied gold (gilt) trim.

A graceful and timeless set — equally suited for elegant entertaining or display. The Monticello line represented Steubenville’s highest decorative standards, designed to rival imported European china yet proudly American-made.

They are ideal for light soups, consommés, or desserts; they also make beautiful display items in china cabinets or vintage-style kitchens. The footed cups offer visual interest when stacked or arranged.

Cup/bowl diameter, rim to rim: 4.75"
