Exceptional Dresden tea set, consisting of a tea pot and covered sugar bowl. Fully marked for the very well regarded Carl Thieme Saxony Porcelain Factory in Dresden, Germany. This company began as a decorating studio in 1860 and began to produce its own porcelain in 1872. Thieme decorated his porcelain in the style and patterns of the finest European makers, Vienna, Sevres and Meissen, and employed expert porcelain painters to create beautiful and realistic floral and botanical arrangements in the "alt Dresden" style. This particular set is the loveliest I have ever seen with an exceptional Rococo style, featuring graceful open work handles, exquisitely rendered flowers and lavishly applied brushed gold details. Both the tea pot and the sugar bowl are in excellent original condition with no signs of wear or use. A rare find, fresh from a local Brooklyn estate. Tea pot is 10" wide (handle to spout), 6 1/2" tall x 6" wide. Sugar bowl is 6" wide x 5" tall x 5" deep. Price for the set 750
