Discover a remarkable intersection of 1960s Dutch utility and the timeless allure of the Nile. This complete 18-piece espresso service, crafted by the esteemed Royal Sphinx (formerly Petrus Regout) in Maastricht, Netherlands, is a rare departure from the factory’s traditional patterns.
This set captures the "Egyptian Revival" aesthetic that swept through European design in the mid-20th century. Each cup features a vivid, wrap-around frieze depicting scenes of ancient life—reed boats gliding through papyrus, traditional harvest, and symbolic hieroglyphs—all balanced atop a signature powder-blue footed base.
Why It’s Special:
Finding a set of this size (9 full pairings) in such pristine condition is an anomaly. The "stacked" silhouette is an icon of Dutch industrial design, specifically engineered for elegance and space-saving. Whether displayed on a sideboard or used for an after-dinner service, this set brings a curated, worldly charm to the modern home.
Technical Specifications:
• Origin: Maastricht, Netherlands.
• Maker: Royal Sphinx (Petrus Regout).
• Era: Circa 1960–1965.
• Material: High-quality glazed porcelain.
• Set Includes: 9 Espresso/Demitasse Cups and 9 Matching Saucers (18 pieces total).
• Design: Polychrome Egyptian motifs with a pastel blue contrast base.
Condition:
This service is in exceptional vintage condition. There are no chips, cracks, or visible repairs. The glaze remains lustrous, and the intricate transfer illustrations are crisp and vibrant.
Shipping & Care:
To preserve the integrity of the mid-century illustrations, hand-washing is recommended. This set will be professionally packed with double-walled reinforcement to ensure it arrives in gallery-ready condition. This piece has an attribution mark,
