Vintage German “Present” Mustache Cup Pair – Hand Painted with 3D applications

This charming pair of vintage German porcelain mugs is full of character and romantic charm. Each cup features the word “Present” in raised cobalt blue and gold script, surrounded by detailed hand-painted florals and leafy gold vines. One cup includes a classic mustache guard, suggesting it was intended for a gentleman, while the other is a standard open cup — likely meant for a lady. Together, they form a sweet his-and-hers set, ideal for gifting or display. Made in Germany, these likely date to the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s) designed as reproductions of Victorian-era mustache cups. Though styled after the late 1800s tradition, the high-gloss glaze, crisp paintwork, and lack of visible wear suggest a vintage (not antique) origin. Both cups are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing, and the gold embellishments remain vibrant. A delightful collectible or conversation piece for tea lovers, vintage enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates a little quirky romance in their china cabinet.
