An exquisite porcelain mocca (espresso) cup and matching saucer duo from the world-renowned Meissen manufactory, Germany. The set features the classic and prestigious 'Weinlaub' (Full Green Vine Leaves) pattern, delicately hand-painted in rich underglaze green against a brilliant white hard-paste porcelain body. Both pieces feature the elegant, scalloped 'Neuer Ausschnitt' rim, and the cup is adorned with a beautiful leaf-scrolled handle.
This set is a fascinating combination of two different eras of Meissen's historic production, making it a wonderful conversation piece for collectors.

Condition Report:
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or restorations. The underglaze green decor remains exceptionally vibrant, and the porcelain retains a high-gloss glaze finish.
Authenticity & Marks Note:
• The Saucer: Features the underglaze blue crossed swords with a distinct dot between the blades, accurately dating it to the highly collectible Pfeiffer Period (1924–1934). It has no grinding slashes, classifying it as First Quality (1. Wahl). It bears the blue painter's mark '75.'.
• The Cup: Features the post-1934 Meissen crossed swords (likely 1950s production) with two incised grinding slashes across the mark, designating it as a factory Second Choice (2. Wahl) due to minor firing or paint variations unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Bears the blue painter's mark '41.'.
A superb, cabinet-ready addition to any high-end European porcelain collection.
