This is an unwanted wedding gift - as we drink chinese tea I'd sooner send it to a family keen on coffee or western black tea, and I don't have the space.
It is a collectible original tea set (not a copy) from Rosenthal, in mint condition near new with no chips. The Gropius design dates from the 1920's Bauhaus period, and would suit someone keen on Bauhaus design or with an Art Deco house. All made from fine white porcelain.
In all:
- the large teapot with lid,
- tea strainer and second lid to lift it out;
- six hemispherical teacups and matching saucers, the cups are so thin they are translucent;
- sugar bowl, and
- cream jug.
