A set of six German porcelain place-card holders, made in Saxony circa 1910–1920, with hand-painted garden flowers, polychrome enamel and gilded slot edging, each measuring 9.7 × 4.2 cm and in good used condition with slight edge abrasions.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A set of six porcelain place card holders produced in Saxony, Germany, circa 1900–1920, bearing a lamb hallmark and the inscription Made in Saxony on the base. Each holder is decorated with hand-painted polychrome enamel depicting colourful German garden flowers, with a gilded stripe framing the card-slot opening. The Made in Saxony mark is consistent with export wares produced for the British and American markets in the early twentieth century, when Saxony's decorating workshops applied painted decoration to white blanks and sold them through trade networks across Europe and beyond. The place card holder as a table object was a standard element of formal bourgeois dining in the Wilhelmine and early Weimar periods, and sets in decorated porcelain are now scarce as functional survivors. Condition is Good: slight abrasions are visible along the edges of multiple pieces; no chips, cracks, or evidence of restoration noted.
Size: 9.7 x 4.2 cm.
