The Dresden Porcelain Collection houses parts of a coffee and tea service with the same decor. Until the publication of the catalogue of the Ole Olsen Collection in 1927, it was not known that a dinner service with this décor also existed. There were over 50 service pieces in the Danish collection.

Provenance

Private collection, Palatinate.
