This "Albertine" cup and saucer set was designed by Bořek Šípek for the historic Dutch manufacturer Royal Delft. Made in the 1980s, the piece represents a postmodern interpretation of traditional Delftware, combining asymmetrical shapes with classic decorations.
The set is crafted from glazed porcelain, characterized by a color contrast between pure white and deep cobalt blue. The cup features a sculptural silhouette with an irregular dotted rim and an interior embellished with a delicate hand-painted floral motif. The asymmetrical saucer echoes the decorative motifs, creating a visual dialogue with the cup. The maker's marks and signatures are clearly visible on the base of both pieces, confirming their authenticity and provenance.
The overall condition is excellent, with no obvious structural or aesthetic defects. The glaze retains its original luster, and the hand-painted details are crisp and well-defined.
This collectible set fits perfectly in display cases or as a statement piece in an eclectic dining room. Its postmodern aesthetic makes it an ideal conversation piece for lovers of signature ceramics and 1980s design.
