Coffee Service

Coffee Service

This is a rare coffee set designed by Melchior and dating to about 1820. Even though I show only one cup & saucer in the pic there are four cups and saucers as well as the sugar, creamer and coffee pot as part of the set. Handpainted on an orangy beige background with gold stars and figural handles and spouts. Marked with the impressed shield mark of around 1820 as well as various incised marks. The set is in super condition. Sugar lid is missing, tiny restoration to spout of pot that can not be seen with the naked eye, one hairline crack to a saucer, and the finial on the lid of the coffee pot is reglued. The cups are 3 inches (7.6cm) tall and 3 inches (7.6cm) in diameter, the saucers are 1 inch (2.5cm) tall and a bit over 5 inches (12.7cm) in diameter, the creamer is 6.5 inches (16.5cm) tall and 3.5 inches (8.9cm) in diameter, the sugar is 4.25 inches (10.8cm) tall and 5 inches (12.7cm) in diameter and the coffee pot is 9.5 inches (24.1cm) tall and 4.5 (11.4cm) inches in diameter. None of these measurements include the handles or spouts! This is a very rare set to find and in super condition.
