Dining at Home

The round platter, 5 soup bowls, 7 salad plates and 1 sauce bowl with factory-seconds mark to crossed swords. The platter having an unclear cause for the second mark, the five soup bowls very slightly thinner or lighter weight than the rest of the set, the salad plates with slight variations in size though it is otherwise unclear the cause of the seconds marks (the normally marked plate with a slightly deeper, more rounded center and slightly larger, though this discrepancy is likely due to the set being associated and not a signifier of the cause of the seconds marks), and the sauce bowl slightly thicker than the normally marked bowl.

1 dessert plate with factory-thirds mark to crossed swords, its design appears very slightly darker than the other plates in the service and the salad plates.

Each marked with crossed swords, with exception of the milk jug and one oval platter which are stamped with Meissen in an oval above a star in underglaze blue.

The service in overall good condition. Having scattered surface deposit throughout. The oval serving trays and various plates with minor surface scratches to centerfield likely from cutlery. The milk jug with restoration to the spout. Both covered bowls with some loss to the flower finial and a small instance of flaking loss to the underside of one lid's rim. Few items with negligible fleabites to foot rims. Small flaking loss to edge of a bread plate and scattered chips to the edge of the foot of one creamer. One soup bowl with a section of loss along the rim.
