Celebrate the golden age of German coffee culture with this luminous 1950s Winterling Sammeltasse from Marktleuthen, Bavaria. The conical cup, saucer, and cake plate are banded with a refined gold lattice and a jewel-bright mandala rosette, finished with gleaming gilt foot and handle - a glamorous mid-century trio made for Kaffee und Kuchen.
In post-war West Germany, “Sammeltasse” (literally “collector’s cup”) referred to single, especially decorative tea trios - cup, saucer, and dessert plate - sold individually rather than as full services.
They became beloved gifts for confirmations, birthdays, and weddings during the 1950s–60s boom years, when Bavarian factories such as Winterling, Rosenthal, and Hutschenreuther paired modern forms with lavish gold and fashionable colours.
Today, they’re cherished for their chic silhouettes and nostalgic elegance.

Origin & Maker
Founded in 1906 in Röslau, Bavaria, Gebrüder Winterling began as a small family-owned porcelain factory by Heinrich and Ferdinand Winterling .
The company swiftly expanded - acquiring fellow chinaware maker Oscar Schaller in 1917, opening new plants in Kirchenlamitz (1920) and Windischeschenbach (1929).
By the 1930s, Winterling had grown into one of Germany’s top porcelain producers, known for elegant tableware, classic patterns like the iconic “Indian Blue,” and even branching into stoneware by the 1960s. A formal corporation in 1950, Winterling reached its peak before declaring bankruptcy in 2000.
Today, Winterling pieces are cherished reminders of a golden era in Bavarian porcelain craftsmanship.
