This three-piece porcelain tea service was manufactured by the Reichenbach Porcelain Factory in East Germany and features the L'Amour pattern. The service includes a lidded teapot, a lidded double-handled sugar bowl, and a cream pitcher. Each piece is finished with an iridescent pearlescent luster glaze and decorated with central transfer-printed romantic scenes in the Fragonard style. These pastoral scenes are framed by gilt scrollwork. The service is further detailed with heavy gold-tone gilding on the handles, scalloped rims, and pedestal bases, alongside stenciled gold-tone floral patterns on the lids and shoulders. The teapot and sugar bowl feature pinecone-style finials. The base of each vessel bears a gold-tone backstamp with the pattern name L'Amour above a heraldic shield marked with the letter R and the text Made in East-Germany. Teapot Height approx. 24.1 cm. Condition: The service is in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of restoration. The iridescent luster glaze and transfer-printed decoration are well-preserved. Gilt highlights remain bright with minimal wear.
