SquareTrade © A Antique ~ Helena Wolfsohn ~ Teacup & Saucer Hand-painted ~ Hand-gilded ~ Fine Porcelain Quatrefoil ~ Watteau Dresden ~ German ~ Saxony c. 1843 - 1883 Description: Helena Wolfsohn- Helena Wolfsohn Porcelain Studio Made in Germany Fine Porcelain with Abundant Handpainting & Gilding in Watteau Style Very Good Antique Condition! Teacup Measures 3 1/8" in diameter (4" with handle) x 2.25" tall Saucer is Oblong and Measures 4.75" x 5.25" x 1.25" in depth c.1843 - 1883 Among several wonderful teacups/saucers I currently have listed, is this stately set from Helena Wolfsohn, owner/founder of the Helena Wolfsohn Porcelain Studios, beginning operation in the mid 19th century. Wolfsohn's company's early pieces, such as this, are recognized for quality hand-painting and hand-gilding in the Watteau style. Both cup & saucer are quatrefoil in shape, have alternating paneled scenes of seascapes and floral sprays on dark pink/raspberry in Watteau style, and are outlined with elegantly detailed gold gilt. No cracks, chips, hairlines, crazing, or staining. Condition of gold gilt is very good but does show some minor (normal) wear on edges commensurate with age. Personally, I believe this adds delightful character and demonstrates it was a well loved piece and held...not hidden ;-) Because of the minor (normal) wear to the gold gilt, I'm erring on the side of caution and rating this wonderful set as overall very good antique condition, but not excellent or mint. Never-the-less, this is an absolutely fabulous set and very hard to find. Please note: Display stand is not included. It is for display purposes only.
