Heavy mark, mostly year 1986, 1st choice. Design: form 1972/1975 by Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010); decor Volkmar Bretschneider (*1930).

Enamel colors, polished gold.

In its idea and execution, this highly rare mocha service is reminiscent of the decor "Almond Tree" and the decor "Blue Orchid", also the service and unique pieces executed in solution painting of the artist group of the 80s. Volkmar Bretschneider uniquely succeeds here in merging alla-prima painting and form and finds a special masterpiece in the gold-staffed mocha pot. Tulip blossoms surround each cup (executed as a unique piece). And the painting on the plates (each of which is also a solitaire / a touch of painting in pastel sky tones with fine gold accents) opens up a delicate cosmos like a mild morning spring breeze. Closed and open are here translated at the highest artistic level into expressive modern porcelain painting. A new type of unique Meissen flower painting, with which Volkmar Bretschneider has indelibly inscribed himself in the annals of the Meissen manufactory. (cf. Meissen Contours 1960 - 1990, pp. 46f., Meissen Manuscripts VII, Volkmar Bretschneider, Decorations on Meissen Porcelain, pp. 12/13).
