Heavy mark, 1980s, 1st choice. Design: form 1972/1975 by Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010); decor by Volkmar Bretschneider (b. 1930) and Heinz Werner (1928-2019).

Underglaze blue painting, polychrome onglaze painting, gold staffage.

14 pieces. Shape "Large cutout". Mocha pot (h 19 cm), milk jug, 6 demitasse cups and 6 saucers.

The painting appears outside any set of rules of porcelain painting and has a liveliness that is so only on individual works of art, but not on utility porcelain. Thanks to the greats Heinz Werner and Volkmar Bretschneider, this service displays the full richness of summer blossoms. Watercolor-like, unbound and yet finely nuanced, and in the combination of underglaze and onglaze painting, the artists achieve an impressive depth and spatiality. Here, each service piece is a special one-of-a-kind and exquisite work of art. Flower power at the very highest artistic level.
