Antique dealers and collectors for 20 years, we specialize in fine continental and English porcelains. We have always loved the wonderful porcelains from the various Dresden studios because of their fine hand painting and gilt detail. We appreciate the dinnerware with the colorful Dresden flowers and gilt on delicate pristine white porcelain. Some pieces are so translucent, it is amazing they are still intact. We believe that some of the decorative cabinet pieces are as finely decorated as those from the best porcelain companies in the world. Some of the Dresden studios employed the best portrait, flower, and figure artists of the day, and we believe much of the ware is underpriced and under-appreciated.
