1962 Nancy Prentiss Tea Cup and Saucer Set - Set of 3

Set of 3 1962 Nancy Prentiss Teap Cup and Saucer Sets. The cups stand about 2.25" in height and the rim is 4". The saucer measures 6". Excellent condition.

This exquisite set of three tea cups and saucers by Nancy Prentiss represents the height of early 1960s formal dining elegance. Manufactured in West Germany and dated to 1962, this fine china collection is characterized by its luminous white glaze and minimalist silver plated trim along the rims and handles. The cups feature a classic mid century low slung silhouette with a wide 4 inch mouth designed to showcase the clarity and color of the tea within. The matching 6 inch saucers provide a clean wide base that emphasizes the delicate proportions of the set.

The craftsmanship is typical of high quality European export porcelain from this era offering a thin translucent wall that feels light yet substantial in the hand. This particular set is in excellent condition with the silver trim remaining bright and intact across all pieces. For a truly sophisticated presentation style these on a crisp white linen tablecloth with a sterling silver tea service to lean into a Minimalist or Contemporary aesthetic. They serve as a wonderful bridge between mid century tradition and modern clean lines making them an ideal choice for a formal brunch or a refined afternoon tea gathering.

This item is vintage, over 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
