Description from the seller
Refined dinner service in the finest white porcelain, characterized by elegant raised relief work with a torchon/wave motif that softly encircles the rim of each piece. The profile is embellished with a rich gold-dusted border decorated with classic relief motifs. The uniqueness of this service lies in the evocative and natural oxidation of the gilding along the edges; over time the gold has taken on a splendid, warm burnished, matte, and intense hue, which enhances its historic charm and gives the pieces an authentic and sought-after patina of antique era. A classic, timeless ensemble, perfect for theatrical table settings or collectors of antique porcelain.
Composition of the Service
- 21 flat plates, 25 cm diameter
- 12 soup plates, 22 cm diameter
- 12 dessert/small plates, 22 cm diameter
- 1 oval serving plate, 27×25 cm
- 1 small oval plate, 24.5×15 cm
- 1 salad bowl, 25 cm diameter
- 1 round serving plate, 29.5 cm
- 1 tureen, 22 cm diameter
Historical Notes on the Brand
As visible on the back of the plates, the service bears the green overglaze mark consisting of a stylized three-point crown and the inscription "Bareuther - Waldsassen - Bavaria-Germany". This is the famous Bareuther & Co. manufactory, founded in Waldsassen in 1866 and renowned across Europe for the excellence and the brilliance of its hard-paste porcelain for tableware. The specific shape of the mark and the serial number present identify a high-quality production dating to the mid-20th century, a period when Bavarian manufacturing combined superior craftsmanship with decorations of classic and elegant taste.
Condition
Excellent. Structurally, the pieces are in excellent condition: no cracks, chips, hairlines, or restorations of any kind. The porcelain retains its original sheen. Noteworthy as a characteristic feature of vintage material is the widespread and uniform oxidation of the gold border, which appears burnished and shows the characteristic, fascinating color changes over time.
Shipping and Trackable Courier
Shipping will be entrusted exclusively to an international courier that is fully trackable. Given the importance, weight, and fragility of the entire lot, the service will be professionally packaged to minimize transport risks. Each piece will be individually protected with high-strength bubble wrap and placed inside reinforced boxes filled with cushioning material.
