Meissen B-form Coffee Set For Six People, Germany, Meissen, 20th Century

Luxurious porcelain mocha coffee set for six, crafted at the renowned Meissen porcelain manufactory during the postwar period. The set is crafted in the classic B-Form style, characterized by balanced proportions, a flowing silhouette, and a clear architectural design. The white porcelain is enhanced by a deep cobalt blue background, accentuated by rich, hand-applied gilding and a delicate polychrome floral decoration painted in accordance with the manufactory’s traditions.

The gilded decoration stands out for its density and the finesse of its execution, underscoring the ceremonial and prestigious character of the service. The harmony between the cobalt, gold, and painted floral motifs evokes the finest examples of classical Meissen, extending the artistic legacy of the 18th and 19th centuries into a mid-20th-century interpretation. The set is intended for both a reception table and a high-quality collection.

The set includes a coffee pot with lid, a milk jug, a sugar bowl with lid, a serving tray, and six coffee cups with saucers, forming a cohesive and stylistically accomplished ensemble.
