Description
A gilt Tivoli København inscription gives this cup and saucer a clear connection with Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens, while their crowned PM marks point to German porcelain manufacture. Cobalt bands, gold floral detailing and scattered coloured sprigs frame the pale ground. Together they bring the character of a travel souvenir to a display of tea and coffee table pieces.
Both pieces are described with crowned PM marks above the word Import, and the saucer also bears a letter B. The supplied identification associates PM with Porzellanfabrik Martinroda, Friedrich Eger & Co. of Thuringia. That association should remain an attribution until independently corroborated; the letter B has no confirmed meaning in the available information. The Copenhagen inscription names the subject, not the place of manufacture. The decoration suggests a mid-twentieth-century period but does not establish an exact year. The listing grades the pair Excellent and reports no chips or cracks. Those are supplied condition details, not proof from photography that every fine hairline or restoration is absent. For more context on the decoration and identification, see the Journal guide to marks and backstamps.
