For your consideration is this interesting mustache cup and saucer from the Czech Republic by the Brothers Schwalb made in the 1800s. The piece as a whole displays hand painted floral designs along with pink accents on the handle and as trim around the edges. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this piece is when the cup is sat on the saucer just right, the paintings line up and continue the art work. The artist used shades of blue and pink/red for the flowers along with yellow and the typical green. The handle is made to look like wooden vines twisting, adding to the floral design. On the bottom of both is the green marking that has B S, and M. in it. On the bottom of the cup, it also has the numbers 1472 and 111. The cup is 2 1/2″ tall, has a 3 5/8″ diameter, and is 4 1/2″ from the handle across. The saucer is 6 1/2″ in diameter and is 1″ tall. On the bottom of the saucer there is a brown spot, but we are not sure from what. Please see our pictures for more detail. Thank you!
