Kaiser Wilhelm II Floral Coffee Cup & Saucer #1

This is a cup and saucer made by Meissen in the late 19th to early 20th century. No year mark on this set but it does have the ownership mark for Kaiser Wilhelm the Second. Quite rare as he preferred the ones made by KPM of which I own a few (not to say those are common either!). I have not owned a coffee cup set just a tea set before. A superb cup and saucer decorated in the Alt Brandenstein Pattern with a relief design to the rim with four hand painted bugs in between, a large central floral arrangement to the saucer and three larger flower arrangements to the cup as well as some scattered smaller flowers. Gold trim to the edges and handle. Leaves to the terminals of the handle with gilding to them. What makes this piece special besides being a nicely done piece is the fact that it was made for the Kaiser and both pieces have his personal monogram on the underside! The set is in superb condition with a touch of wear to the gold trim along the edges. The saucer is 1.25 inches tall and has a diameter of 5.375 inches. The cup is 2.75 inches tall and has a diameter of 2.875 inches. Both are marked underneath with the under glaze blue crossed swords marks (first choice) as well as the usual impressed numbers common to Meissen pieces of this period and off course the WR under a crown mark for the personal use of Kaiser Wilhelm II .
