This demitasse coffee service bears the “Crown + Austria” export mark (post-1891), likely from the renowned Ernst Wahliss or Carl Knoll manufactories in Austro-Bohemia. The service features a rich crimson ground with lavish gilt foliate bands, enclosing reserves of romantic and mythological portraits. Each transfer image is hand-finished with fine gilt and pastel accents. The tall spout and slender cup forms attest to its intended use for strong coffee, reflecting the salon culture of the fin-de-siècle. A quintessential example of Austro-Bohemian porcelain artistry, equally compelling for use or display.
此咖啡組由奧地利或波西米亞知名窯廠製作，底款為「皇冠 + Austria」，屬於 1891 年後的出口印記，極可能出自 Ernst Wahliss 或 Carl Knoll。整組以濃麗胭脂紅為地色，配以葉飾厚金描邊，開光中呈現古典浪漫與神話題材人物肖像，經轉印後再以手工金線與淡彩潤飾，色澤細膩。壺嘴高挑、杯型修長，容量精巧，是當時沙龍與上流社會流行的濃咖啡比例。此類作品在奧地利瓷器黃金時期極具代表性，兼具藝術欣賞與收藏價值。
