Lot #78: Authentic Dresden porcelain from Germany

- Brand: Dresden - Type: Tea set; cups & saucers - Material: Porcelain - Color/Pattern: White with multi-color floral design and gold trim - Pieces in lot (approx.): 6–12 pieces - Style/Era: Vintage/Antique style - Condition: Used - good vintage condition (minor wear to gilding) The Studio Style: Unlike centralized factory names like Meissen, "Dresden" refers to a historic cooperative of high-end independent decorating studios operating in Saxony, Germany. The Origin Story: The blue crown over a script "D" mark was historically introduced in the late 19th century by acclaimed outside decorator Helena Wolfsohn. She adopted this specific emblem after a landmark 1878 lawsuit brought by the Royal Meissen factory forced her to stop using their Augustus Rex (AR) monogram. The Script Details: The cursive handwriting below the crown on your specific piece indicates hand-painted completion by a skilled artisan. This type of backstamp format was highly common on German export porcelain dating from the late 1890s to the mid-20th century. Pickup category timeslot {A}
