Tea And Coffee Service, Tea and Coffee Service
This is a tea and coffee service. It was manufactured by Meissen Porcelain Manufactory and Meissen Porcelain Factory. It is dated mid- 18th century and we acquired it in 1912. Its medium is hard paste porcelain, vitreous enamel. It is a part of the department.
When Augustus the Strong established the Meissen porcelain manufactory in 1710 near Dresden, Germany, it became the first European factory to produce hard paste porcelain, ending Far Eastern domination of the lucatrive porcelain trade and creating a watershed moment in the history of Western ceramics. Meissen produced this delicate tea set to satisfy Western taste for vibrant color and floral decoration on porcelain during the rococo period. (Treasures from the Collection, 2003)
