Meissen: The Meissen Espresso Collection

Espresso Cup Swords 0.05 l

Small in size. Remarkable by design.

Espresso rarely lasts more than a few moments, yet those moments often become the most memorable part of the day. The MEISSEN Swords Espresso Cup 0.05 L celebrates exactly that. Crafted from brilliant white hard porcelain and finished with an elegant hand-applied gold decoration, this espresso cup combines centuries of craftsmanship with contemporary design. The delicate golden lines reinterpret the famous Crossed Swords – Europe's oldest registered trademark – in a modern, artistic composition that feels both refined and surprisingly minimal. Its cylindrical silhouette and distinctive square handle create an architectural appearance that is instantly recognisable. Holding 0.05 litres, the cup is perfectly proportioned for espresso or ristretto, allowing every coffee ritual to become a beautifully considered experience.

Sometimes elegance speaks in whispers

Part of The Meissen Espresso Collection, this espresso cup demonstrates how timeless luxury can feel effortless. Instead of elaborate ornamentation, the design relies on carefully balanced proportions, luminous white porcelain and subtle gold accents that catch the light beautifully without ever becoming overwhelming. Designed by the MEISSEN Atelier, each piece is handcrafted in Germany and finished with exceptional precision. Because of its precious gold decoration, the cup is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Gentle hand washing preserves both its brilliance and its remarkable craftsmanship for years to come. The result is a porcelain piece that feels equally at home in contemporary interiors and classic table settings.

A symbol that never stands still

Founded in 1710, the MEISSEN Porcelain Manufactory has shaped European porcelain history for more than three centuries. Every creation begins with pure kaolin from the company's own quarry near Meissen before skilled artisans transform the raw material into exceptionally fine porcelain through numerous carefully executed production stages. Shaping, glazing, firing and decorating remain deeply rooted in traditional craftsmanship while continuously embracing innovation. The iconic Crossed Swords have symbolised authenticity and uncompromising quality since 1722. With the Swords design, this historic emblem is reimagined through contemporary graphic lines, proving that true heritage continues to evolve without losing its identity.

Designed to become part of your favourite rituals

The MEISSEN Swords Espresso Cup 0.05 L pairs beautifully with other pieces from The Meissen Espresso Collection and complements additional MEISSEN collections such as Cosmopolitan White, Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures or selected porcelain vases available at LIVOSY. Whether enjoyed during a quiet morning coffee, shared after dinner with guests or presented as a thoughtful gift for lovers of exceptional design, this handcrafted espresso cup offers much more than functionality. It reflects the enduring value of genuine craftsmanship, contemporary aesthetics and the quiet confidence that has defined MEISSEN for generations.
