Thomas - Rosenthal Group - Table service - Gold Gilt - Porcelain - Designed by Eva Zeisel

We are proud to present a rare and exceptionally complete ensemble of high-quality German porcelain. This service is the result of a creative collaboration between the renowned Thomas manufactory (part of the prestigious Rosenthal Group) and one of the most significant designers of the 20th century — Eva Zeisel. Designer History & Global Recognition: Eva Zeisel (1906–2011) was a pivotal figure in industrial design history. Her work revolutionized the field by replacing rigid geometry with "organic modernism" — shapes that are as pleasing to hold as they are to behold. Museum Heritage: Zeisel’s works are held in the permanent collections of the MoMA (New York), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the British Museum. In 1946, she was the first female designer to be honored with a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Owning this service means owning a piece of art history. Gold Gilt & Aesthetics: Crafted from premium white porcelain, the service’s defining feature is its elegant gold rim, applied with flawless precision. The delicate gold line accentuates the sculptural, fluid lines of each piece, creating a refined play of light. This combination of minimalism and precious shine makes the service perfect for both formal galas and sophisticated daily use. Detailed Set Composition & Measurements (61 items total): Plates & Saucers: Saucers (Ø 14 cm) — 11 pcs Dessert Plates (Ø 19 cm) — 16 pcs Medium Plates (Ø 22 cm) — 12 pcs Dinner Plates (Ø 24 cm) — 11 pcs Serving Pieces: Large Oval Platter (L 33 cm, W 23.5 cm) — 1 pc Small Oval Platter (L 28 cm, W 20 cm) — 1 pc Large Salad Bowl (Ø 22 cm, H 8 cm) — 1 pc Medium Salad Bowl (Ø 19 cm, H 9 cm) — 1 pc Small Salad Bowl (Ø 17.5 cm, H 7.5 cm) — 1 pc Sauce Boats (Ø 15 cm, H 6.5 cm) — 2 pcs Large Lidded Tureen (Ø 20 cm, H 13 cm) — 1 pc Small Lidded Tureen (Ø 14 cm, H 11 cm) — 1 pc Tea / Coffee Set: Lidded Coffee Pot (Ø 14 cm, H 17 cm) — 1 pc Cups (Ø 10 cm, H 5 cm) — 9 pcs Lidded Sugar Bowl (Ø 8 cm, H 7 cm) — 1 pc Creamer (Ø 6 cm, H 7.5 cm) — 1 pc Marking & Condition: Each piece is fully marked with the Thomas Germany hallmark and features Eva Zeisel’s facsimile signature. The service is in excellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or restorations observed. Packaging & Shipping Information: Due to the extraordinary fragility and large volume of pieces, professional foam packaging will be used for transit. This high-end technology creates a custom protective "cocoon" for each item, ensuring the highest level of safety during shipping. All costs for these professional packing materials are already included in the shipping price.
