An Antique Meir Ware Coffee Set in Fitted Presentation Box
This lot is an antique Meir Ware coffee set, offered in its original fitted blue case with a cream fabric interior. The set comprises six coffee cups, several matching saucers and a number of metal spoons, arranged within the box as offered.
The cups and saucers are decorated in blue on a cream-yellow ground, with a central blue and white cartouche surrounded by scrolling foliage and a band of blue detail to the rims. The saucers are of a moulded, shaped form, and the cups have angular handles. The fitted case has a velvet-lined tray divided to hold the pieces, making this a presentable example of early twentieth-century tableware in its own box.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
The set is offered in its original case, which retains its fabric lining and fitted tray. The cups and saucers show a consistent decorative scheme, and the case appears to be the original housing for the set. Full condition has not been assessed in detail, and buyers should note that the lot is sold as described, with completeness and any wear or restoration not guaranteed; please check the detail carefully and ask us any questions before bidding. Its combination of a named maker, a complete-looking cased presentation and a distinctive blue and yellow pattern is likely to appeal to collectors of Meir Ware, boxed tea and coffee services, and those seeking a gift or display piece.
