Stunning antique dessert porcelain set with rich gilded floral patterns and elegant gilded edging on white porcelain. Set includes two tea trios (cup, saucer and plate) and 6 tiny plates for small desserts.
Tea trios have marks of Bavarian manufacturer Al-Ka Kunst Alboth&Kaiser (period 1947-1958). The history of company began in 1872 when August Alboth established a small decorating atelier in Coburg. After his retirement his son Ernst moved the manufactory to Kronach. Ernst had 2 children - son Willy and daughter Emma. Emma married a banker Georg Kaiser, who also joined a porcelain manufacturing company. In 1927 company was renamed as Al-Ka. From that time and untill 2000s company was owned and ruled by representatives of Alboth-Kaiser family. In 1970s company became worldwide famous: in 1982, 200th anniversary of the US, Al-Ka created a porcelain sculpture of bald eagle, which was presented to President Ronald Reagan.
Tiny plates have a mark of Thuringian manufacturer Oscar Schlegelmilch (period 1950-1972). Son of another porcelain manufacturer, Leonard Schlegelmilch, he built his own manufactory in Langewiesen. Its high-quality products have been exported to the USA, Canada, Latin America, Northern Europe and the Balkans. Before nationalization in 1952, the Schelegelmilch factory was a family business. In 1959, it became part of Ilmenau. Since 2010, a porcelain museum has been opened in the former premises of Oscar Schlegelmilch.
The condition is excellent, with some traces of age and usage, loses of gilding, age stains on gilding of "bronze" colour.
