Ancient ceramic serving set – Villeroy & Boch (Dresden)
Splendid and rare lot consisting of 8 pieces signed Villeroy & Boch, Dresden factory, an outstanding manufactory of the storied European ceramic tradition.
Production period: Late 19th / early 20th century (between 1874 and 1909), characterized by the classic mark with coat of arms and Mercury’s head stamped on the bottom.
Origin: Germany (Dresden, Saxony).
The set comprises 7 coordinated pieces with cobalt blue decoration on a white background and refined fluted relief work, as follows:
1) Footed elevate (raised serving plate), diameter 26.5 cm, height 13 cm..
2) No. 6 deep plates with diameter 24 cm..
3) Square bowl with rounded rims, dimensions 25 x 25 x 7.5 cm, (two small chips)
Generally in excellent condition with the usual, slight signs of wear and age. All pieces are complete and free of chips or cracks, except for the square bowl which shows two chips at the corners, clearly visible in the photos.
Any minor imperfections in the ceramic are typical of the handmade nature of the piece.
They display the natural and authentic craquelure of the glaze, a time-worn patina for an antique porcelain that guarantees its absolute originality and historical authenticity.
Please carefully view the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description, to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings.
Careful packaging and tracked shipping.
