A refined and highly elegant tea service by Fürstenberg, created in luminous ivory porcelain and richly finished with 22-karat gold decoration. Presented here as a beautifully composed service for 5 persons, this set has an immediate sense of grace and quiet luxury. Its appeal lies in the purity of its form: soft architectural lines, perfectly balanced proportions and a restrained decorative language that allows the warm ivory body and radiant gold detailing to speak for themselves. The Fürstin model is especially admired for its clear lines and design-led elegance. The porcelain has a wonderfully refined presence — smooth, glossy and delicate — with a softness and luminosity that elevate the entire service. The gold decoration is generous and expressive, creating exactly the kind of visual richness that gives a table immediate atmosphere. The contrast between the gentle ivory tone and the warm, gleaming gold produces a distinctive “wow” effect: elegant, ceremonial and timeless, yet still remarkably easy to place in both classic and contemporary interiors. Contemporary descriptions of the Fürstin line emphasize the lustrous ivory surface and the rare quality of its gold decoration A particularly attractive feature of this lot is the covered bonbonnière, a more unusual and decorative form that adds character, rarity and visual weight to the ensemble. It transforms the set from a simple tea service into a true table object — more complete, more luxurious and far more memorable in presentation. Rather than relying on excess, this service impresses through proportion, material quality and refined finish: a beautiful example of German porcelain with genuine presence and enduring charm. Composition of the lot: - 1 teapot — height 24 cm, width 12 cm, length 20 cm - 1 lidded sugar bowl — height 11 cm, width 9 cm, length 13 cm - 1 covered bonbonnière — diameter 13 cm, height 10 cm - 5 cups — diameter 7.5 cm, height 7.5 cm, capacity approx. 150 ml each - 5 saucers — diameter 14.8 cm, height 2 cm - 1 small Alka Kunst miniature vase, included as a complimentary addition Condition - Excellent overall condition. - Only one minor sign of age is present: slight wear to the gold on the inner gilded ring where the lid meets the bonbonnière. This is only visible on close inspection and does not detract from the elegant presentation of the set. A graceful and highly decorative ensemble, distinguished by its luminous ivory porcelain, rich gold finish and refined mid-century elegance. A service with true presence — sophisticated, atmospheric and instantly memorable.
