MEISSEN TEA SERVICE CIRCA 1730-1735
This Meissen tee service was purchased in London in 1950 from Hans Backer. It comprises: 1 coffee pot with lid, 1 waste bowl, 1 tea pot with masked spout but damaged and without lid, 1 cream pot and lid, 1 tea cady and matching lid (rectangle shape), 3 cups and 5 saucers. Each piece has the same gold mark 11. Each piece also has the crossed swords mark.

The decoration is in the very popular style known as "Dutch Harbor” and “Landscape”. The style was made popular by C. F. Herold, a cousin of J. G. Herold. This service is attributed to him and dates 1730-35. The coloring and painting on this service is quite fine. As is customary, the scenes are enclosed in cartouches, gold filigree and picked out with red and a little lavender.
