Nymphenburg - Tea service (23) - Porcelain

Elegant tea and coffee service for 6 people in very fine glossy white porcelain, entirely formed and hand-painted by the renowned German royal manufactory Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg.

The service is made on the famous Forma "Korb" (Wicker), enhanced by a delicate relief pattern on the rim that imitates the weave of a basket. The painted decoration features the historic scattered flower motif (Streublumen): botanical bouquets, roses, tulips and small field buds executed with the highest miniaturist precision and naturalistic polychrome shading.

Each element is unique in its decoration due to the handcrafted brushwork. The graceful shapes of the teapot, the sinuous handles and the knop of the lid molded into a bud form express the maximum plastic expression of Bavarian porcelain.

The lot includes a rare addition: a circular under-teapot/trivet with feet, coordinated in the same style.
The green showroom mark (Bavarian diamond-shaped shield topped by a crown and wrapped by the arched inscription "Nymphenburg"), together with the hand-written numerical codes on the bottom (0.450 and 865), precisely situates the manufacture of this set in the first half of the 20th century, between 1920 and 1950.
