This cutlery reflects the revival of tableware in the second third of the 18th century. Silverware is in fact eclipsed in favor of porcelain. Although this is no longer a novelty, it is gaining ground even among the lower middle class. The main reason is the use, in Germany and France, of hard pastes within Manufacures such as Meissen; Europeans no longer rely as much on Asian imports, which lowers the costs of this type of service.
Condition report:
Usual wear to the pompom and seedlings. No shock, no cracks.
