Description from the seller
Serving set in antique ceramic with Villeroy & Boch (Dresden)
Splendid and rare lot consisting of 7 pieces signed Villeroy & Boch, Dresden factory (Dresden), a workshop of excellence in the historic European ceramic tradition.
Production period: Late 19th / early 20th century (between 1874 and 1909), characterized by the classic mark with crest and Mercury head impressed on the bottom.
Provenance: Germany (Dresden, Saxony).
The set comprises 7 coordinated pieces with cobalt blue decoration on a white background and refined ribbed (relief) work, as follows:
1) Raised footed serving platter (elevated serving plate), diameter 26.5 cm, height 13 cm.
2) No. 6 soup plates with diameter 24 cm.
Generally in excellent condition with normal, light signs of age and wear. All pieces are intact and free of chips or cracks. Any small imperfections in the ceramic are typical of artisanal workmanship.
They feature the natural and authentic craquelure of the glaze, a patina of time physiologically typical for antique porcelain that guarantees their absolute originality and historical authenticity.
Please carefully view the gallery photographs, which are an integral part of the description, in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Careful packaging and tracked shipping.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
