The service is complete. Made of very fine porcelain, the average thickness of the wall of a single basket is about 2.5 mm. Decorated with floral motif representing roses. Contains: 6 cups. 8 saucers. Teapot about 1, 5l. Saucer. Saccharin. The visible markings on all pieces are only inserts or numbering, and the maker's mark is no longer visible on any piece. The service is over 120 years old, and signs of wear and tear are visible to the trained eye: slight asymmetries in proportions are visible on the saucers or molding/baking creases. Some very fine cracks on the reverse of the saucers (but not representing a danger of further damage), the gold decorative elements are interrupted or are completely erased in some areas.one of the cups has a slightly lighter pigment and is about 3 mm taller than the rest of the cups, it seems to have been added later as a completion. In the absence of provenance markings determining the maker and periodization are rather cumbersome, but all indications are towards the end of the 19th century. And beginning of the 20th century. (1875- 1918) German manufacturer, most likely c. Tielsch & co. (altwasser, schlesien).
