This exquisite porcelain chocolate and tea service features elaborate hand-painted pastoral and equestrian scenes set within gilded scrollwork borders. The set includes a large footed and handled display platter, two lidded pitchers of varying sizes, two lidded chocolate cups, a waste bowl, and a coordinating spoon. Each piece is decorated with vibrant floral sprays and scenes of figures with horses in lush landscapes. The platter is particularly notable for its heavy branch-form gilded handles and matching gilded feet with turquoise ribbon accents. The undersides bear blue underglaze crossed swords marks, consistent with Meissen or high-quality Dresden production.
