Conditions: 18 pieces (plates, tureen, stand, salad bowl, trays): In perfect, completely intact condition. The porcelain retains its original vitreous luster and the brush-painted gilding in 24-carat gold is bright, sharp and free of signs of wear. Sauce boat: structurally solid and stable, with no cracks or chips, shows a slight, superficial vertical thread-like marking of about 3 cm, visible both inside and outside the cup, which does not affect use. The decors and gold are beautifully preserved. (Please carefully view the detailed photographs for maximum transparency). Given the volume and delicacy of the service, the lot will be shipped with reinforced professional packaging (divided into two separate boxes if necessary to ensure the pieces' safety).
