Fürstenberg - 咖啡用具 (40) - 瓷 - 帝国“金色月桂”

Exceptional Fürstenberg “Golden Laurel” Coffee Service for 12 – 40‑Piece Set – West Germany (1960–1963)

Why this service belongs in your collection:
- Own a short‑run classic: Fürstenberg’s “Golden Laurel” was produced only in 1960–1963 — a narrow window that makes complete surviving sets genuinely hard to find.

- Designed to be used, not just admired: the sculpted handle keeps fingers away from the hot wall of the cup for a comfortable, cool grip; the deep saucer is not only elegant but securely nests the cup, ideal for serving at the table or in motion (office service, meetings).

- Statement piece for any setting: the restrained laurel‑and‑gold aesthetic pairs effortlessly with a contemporary interior and looks equally at home in a stylish office or boardroom.

- Deluxe completeness: beyond the full 12‑person coffee trios, this set includes the large water pitcher — a refinement usually sold separately and seldom present in coffee services, thus notably increasing desirability.

- Investment‑grade condition: uniform glaze, crisp gilding, no chips/cracks/crazing or repairs — a level of preservation that collectors rarely encounter in a 1960s 12‑place service.

- Rarer 12‑person scale: large services for twelve appear far less frequently at auction than 6‑person sets; serious collectors know they should act when a complete, near‑mint example surfaces. [barnebys.com]

Provenance & authenticity (marks) - period‑correct, authentic mid‑century Fürstenberg markings:
- Large items show the full underglaze mark “FÜRSTENBERG / SEIT 1747 / WEST‑GERMANY”, consistent with post‑war to pre‑1964 practice.
- Small items (e.g., cups) bear the compact crowned blue “F”, the factory’s standard solution when the underside offers limited space.
- Pattern documentation confirms “Golden Laurel” 1960–1963, aligning perfectly with the above marks.


Please note: due to the size and fragility of the service, it will be shipped in two separate parcels.
This ensures safer handling by the courier, as lighter parcels are processed with greater care.
Both parcels will be professionally packed, insured and tracked.
