Set of six pieces of Meissen porcelain and vermeil cutlery in an embossed leather case with beige chamois interior.
The box contains:
- Six vermeil three-tined forks with porcelain handles decorated with a polychrome floral motif.
Each vermeil part has two small foreign hallmarks (discharge or control: one representing an ear of corn and the other a lizard or a salamander).
- Six gilt-edged knives with porcelain handles with the same designs and hallmarks.
- Six vermeil "filet coquille" model dessert spoons, two of which bear four French hallmarks, two of which are identifiable: charge Paris lettre "A", décharge Paris "Tête de poule" for 1750/56.
Traces of the discharge mark on the other spoons.
On all six spoons there is a small control mark with the letters "C D" inside, probably Central European.
The set was assembled at the first third of the 19th century in a travelling box monogrammed "K S".
