Vintage Seltmann Vohenstrauss Bavaria Tea Pot Coffee Set
This vintage Bavaria set consists of one demitasse size cup and saucer, one small tea or coffee pot with lid, one sugar bowl with lid, and one creamer. All pieces are a creamy ivory color with floral decoration. The finish is a shiny finish, somewhat like a luster finish. The delicate floral decoration consists of periwinkle blue and pink and red flowers. The creamer, sugar, and pot have fancy, looping handles.
The sugar bowl, creamer, cup, and pot are all marked on the bottom with the same green mark. This is the Johann Seltzmann Vohenstrauss Bavaria mark, with a crown. This mark dates this set to 1917-1932.
The tea pot or coffee pot measures approx. 6-1/2" tall, measuring to the top of the lid finial; from handle to spout, it is approx. 7", and it has a base diameter of approx. 2-1/2". The sugar bowl is approx. 3-3/4" tall, measuring to the top of the lid finial; from handle to handle, it is approx. 5", and it has a base diameter of approx. 2-1/4". The creamer is approx. 3-1/2" tall at the spout, and it has a base diameter of approx. 1-3/4". The cup is approx. 1-5/8" high, with a top diameter of approx. 2-3/4", and a base diameter of approx. 1-1/4. The saucer is approx. 4-3/8" in diameter.
This set is in very good condition, with a teeny flake on the rim of the cup, but otherwise no chips, cracks, crazing or stains. Please excuse any camera glare/white spots/reflections in the pictures. The shiny lustrous finish is a bit lighter or darker in some places or areas on the pieces, but it's not that noticeable when looking at this pretty vintage set in person.
