St. Moritz, 1911.
The air is crisp enough to snap a wafer. Outside, the Engadine Valley is a study in blinding white and glacial blue. Inside, however, the atmosphere is considerably warmer.
The children's Governess is arguing—civilly, of course—about the merits of a new novel. You aren’t listening. You are watching the steam rise from a vessel so delicate it makes the surrounding silver service look like blacksmith’s work.
It is R.S. Prussia. Porcelain that feels less like clay and more like captured moonlight.
The Particulars
This is not a set for the "mug" crowd. This is for the intentional sip. The quiet conversation. The lingering finish of a perfect meal.

The Pedigree: Authentic R.S. Prussia, manufactured in the vintage of 1911.
The Aesthetic: Translucent white porcelain draped in Wilhelmine swags of snowy blossoms and deep, verdant greenery. It’s a secret garden in the palm of your hand.
The Assembly: A rare configuration of two pots (one for the coffee, perhaps one for the hot milk—or a very demanding guest), five demitasse cups, and six saucers (one for the inevitable stray biscuit).
The Stature: Diminutive. Refined. Standing at a precise 4.25".
The Condition: Good. It has survived the collapse of empires and the invention of the television with its dignity entirely intact.
Ideal for the person who understands that coffee isn’t just fuel—it’s a ceremony. See less
