This item is a vintage white porcelain coffee set, likely a "scattered flowers" or "strewn flowers" pattern, which is commonly associated with brands like Meissen or those in the Bavarian/Dresden region.
The set is made of white porcelain or fine china, providing a bright, classic base for the design. It features a delicate pattern of small, scattered floral motifs in multiple colours, including red, blue, purple, and green. The edges of the pieces are scalloped, and all handles, rims, and spouts are accented with gold trim.
The collection of items shown includes a tall coffeepot, a lidded sugar bowl, a creamer or milk jug, and 5 cups and saucers.
The overall style is characteristic of elegant European porcelain from the 19th or 20th century, designed for formal coffee service
A demitasse set is a collection of small cups and matching saucers specifically designed for serving strong, concentrated coffee drinks.
The term "demitasse" is French for "half cup". The cups are typically about half the size of a regular coffee cup. They usually hold between 2 to 3 fluid ounces (60 to 90 ml) of liquid. The small size is optimal for enjoying rich and intense flavours of beverages like espresso, Turkish coffee, or strong after-dinner coffee. They are also occasionally used for serving hot chocolate.
A full demitasse set typically includes a coffeepot (often tall and narrow), a creamer, a lidded sugar bowl, and multiple cups and saucers. Historically, these sets were used for after-dinner coffee rituals in the 1800s, often served black with sugar permitted but not cream.
The set appears to be a vintage demitasse or "chocolate set," common in European porcelain manufacturing, designed for this specific style of beverage service.
The set is in mint condition with no damages noted, aside from missing one cup and saucer.
