Dresden Hand Painted Courting Couples Water Fort Cobalt & Gold Miniature Tea Set
Beautiful miniature porcelain tea trio including teapot, creamer, and sugar. The teapot is decorated in cobalt with a hand painted scene on two sides depicting a fort on the water with boats and rocks. The scenes are framed in gold gilt scrollwork and net designs. The creamer and sugar are painted with courting couple scenes framed in the same gilding and small gold gilt flowers. The creamer is marked on the bottom with a blue underglaze crown above Dresden. This mark was registered by Donath & Co, Richard Klemm, Oswald Lorenz, and Adolph Hamann in 1883. It was re-registered on 1893 and used until 1916. The teapot is marked with a flower and the sugar is marked with a faint blue Dresden mark.
These have some wear to the gilding, but are in otherwise good condition with no chips or cracks.
The teapot measures approximately 4 3/4 inches wide from spout to handle 4 inches tall to the top of the lid finial.
The creamer measures approximately 2 3/8 inches wide from spout to handle x 2 3/8 inches tall.
The sugar measures approximately 2 1/2 inches wide x 2 3/4 inches tall to the top of the lid finial.
These are antiques and may have small in manufacture defects that do not effect the display of the pieces.
