The lot stands out for the union of two excellence manufactories, stylistically harmonized by the lavish and elegant glossy 24 kt gold edge. Fine Bavarian Porcelain (105 total pieces) The ceramic service was made with a high-density body (Extra Fein) and treated with a patented special glaze called "Einschnitt", designed specifically to resist deep scratches and knife cuts. Notable feature: The set includes an exceptional allocation of as many as 24 soup plates, a rarity ideal for handling double courses of primi or elaborate menus. Includes flat plates, dessert plates, large coordinated serving platters (oval and round), a salad bowl and a serving tureen.
Marcello Aglieri Author Crystal (37 total pieces) The table is completed by a set of high-refractive-index crystal glasses and serving pieces, signed by the well-known Italian designer Marcello Aglieri.
