"Grecque - Satin Finish" espresso cup with saucer by Fürstenberg

For nearly two centuries, "Grecque" has been one of the iconic shapes of the porcelain manufacturer Fürstenberg. Created during the Biedermeier period between 1840 and 1850, the design combines the elegant clarity of the Empire style with classical lines and a subtle romantic lightness. Its distinctive faceted structure gives each piece a unique presence – timeless yet strikingly modern.

With "Grecque Satin", Fürstenberg reveals the sensual side of this historic design. The manufactory’s signature velvety matte finish lends the porcelain a new depth that can be both seen and felt. Satin-finished exteriors and rims emphasize the faceted structure, bringing it to life through the interplay of light and shadow. At the same time, deliberately glazed inner surfaces provide a refined contrast. The result is a delicate balance of matte and shine that highlights the sculptural beauty of the form.

"Grecque Satin" is carefully crafted by hand in Germany. Experience, craftsmanship and a deep passion for detail shape each object – created to celebrate small moments of joy as well as special gatherings.

Cleaning:
White Fürstenberg porcelain without decoration, as well as most (multicoloured) decorations, are dishwasher safe. Porcelain with precious metal is suitable for the dishwasher, but hand wash is recommended. Hand-painted decorations should only be washed by hand. Handwash porcelain with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Be careful not to use the abrasive side, it may damage the surface of the decorations.

When using the dishwasher, choose a low-temperature cycle and do not exceed the recommended amount of detergent. Keep pieces separate in the dishwasher and allow the steam to escape after the program has finished.

Avoid temperature shocks. To avoid friction when stacking, we recommend using intermediate layers (e.g. "Artedona" plate dividers).

Microwave:
Pieces without gold or platinum decoration: microwave safe.
Pieces with gold or platinum decoration: not suitable for microwave use due to high precious metal content.
