Here we can offer a very rare 14 pieces Set Porcelain Coffee/Tea Set by JOHANN SELTMANN GERMANY Vohenstrauss (City in Bavaria).
The set comes with 4 cups, 4 saucers, 4 Dessert plates and a Coffee / Tea Pot with Lid - 13 items and counting the lid 14 pieces.
The mark on the Coffee Pot and on one of the Saucers was used by Johann Seltmann from 1901 - 1932. (we had to pick a time frame and took the starting time of the area). We did not find this amazing Imari Style pattern elsewhere, so we do not know the exact manufacturing date. It is for sure at least 90 years old, maybe antique.
Other than the one saucer mentioned above, none of the others is marked. The cups only have a red signature. The Coffee/Tea pot and all Dessert plates have the same red signature on the back which could be read as "V SK J 9" or "V SK 29".
The pattern of this set has an oriental, Imari Style design. It is hand painted. The design is the same on all items, but they still look all slightly different when you compare them side by side.
Other than the flowers a triangle in light blue with a border on one side is displayed on all items which looks like a hand fan. All items have a dark red border with gold design. All handles are in the same design and so is the spout of the coffee pot.
The set is in excellent used condition. There are some signs of usage but considering the age all items look excellent. The surfaces on the plates bottoms where they stand on feel (doing the fingertip test) a little uneven.
Please check our pictures as they are part of the description. If you have any questions, please contact us before purchasing!
