Reflective Quality: Every piece is designed to catch the light, echoing the prestigious "Marina" lifestyle. ---- Historical Provenance: The German Heritage This service carries a "blue blood" lineage. The Karolina factory (Jaworzyna Śląska) was founded in 1860 as Porzellanfabrik Königszelt AG.

Details: No chips, cracks, or crazing. The cobalt blue remains deep and vibrant, and the gold leaf accents are remarkably crisp and highly reflective across all pieces. Hallmarks: Clearly marked with the Karolina hallmark on the base. The "Marina" style remains a perennial favorite on the international market. Because this lot includes the hard-to-find candleholder pair and the uniquely shaped sugar bowl, it is a high-value acquisition for collectors of maritime-themed luxury and German-Polish porcelain history. ---- * I package everything very carefully. to get your item safely to you. * I shipped next day after payment receiving (not in weeckend). * I will be happy to get a feedback after receiving.
