Dorothea Red Teacup and Dainty Saucer

Teacups

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
Psalm 23:5-6

I am so excited to share this Dorothea Red Teacup and Dainty Saucer by Seltmann Weiden, Bavaria, Germany with you. They arrived in the mail two days ago as a surprise gift from hubby. He saw them on eBay and made the purchase because the pattern matches the Dorothea China Blue teacup and saucer he brought home from Germany for me.

There are not many with this red pattern around and for some reason it is not even listed on the Seltmann Weiden website. One source considered the pattern to be unknown and so I have taken the liberty here of naming it Dorothea Red.

Smaller Size Teacup

The diameters of the cup and saucer are half an inch smaller than their blue counterparts. The teacup has a slightly scalloped foot giving it a very dainty look. The original owner purchased the cup and saucer in Germany 30 years ago and have kept them in excellent condition. I am beyond thrill that my blue beauty has found a perfect “match”. ๐Ÿ™‚

I am not able to find new pieces of this Dorothea motif online but here are some sets from the same manufacturer, Seltmann Weiden.

    Though I gravitate towards blue and white porcelain, I have to admit your Dorothea Red cup and saucer is stunning! I especially love the scalloped foot and the curvaceous handle. Beautiful! Aren’t you a luck girl, to have such a thoughtful husband ๐Ÿ™‚

    Have you learned anything more about this pattern? I have 3 of these cups and saucers I picked up in a thrift store simply because they appealed to me, but I cannot find anything about them.

      Unfortunately not, Fran. This pattern was probably discontinued sometime ago which is a pity because it is so pretty. The color is lovely too.
