NYMPHENBURG #982 PERL GOLD WITH FLORAL DECORATION DODECAGON CUP AND SAUCER SET (5 SETS AVAILABLE). The pattern is #982, a variation of the “Perl Gold” (or “Pearl Gold”) design that is decorated with hand-painted “Dresden flowers”. Nymphenburg’s popular Perl pattern is characterized by a beaded pearl-like edge and a 12-sided dodecagon shape. Each cup measures about 4″ wide (not counting handle) and 2 1/8″ tall. The saucer is approximately 6 in diameter, measured point to point. The price listed is for a SINGLE CUP & SAUCER SET (up to 5 sets available) Inspired by the clear stylistic elements of the Louis XVI period, sculptor Dominikus Auliczek designed this classic “Perl” dinner service for Nymphenburg in 1793. The design is perhaps the single most iconic service in Nymphenburg’s history and was considered so exquisite that for over 100 years it was reserved exclusively for the Bavarian royal family. It was the first dinner service in Europe to have a dodecagonal shape. The pattern also incorporates three-dimensional acanthus leaves into the design, a classic art and architecture motif that Auliczek observed during his travels through Italy. The hand-painted flowers on these cups and saucers are unique to each piece. Since I have multiple sets, the floral decoration on the set you receive will not likely be the exact one pictured (but very similar). The pearl rim is enhanced with 24K gold highlights. The cup handles have a hand-painted leaf design and the acanthus leaves on the cup body are also trimmed in gold. The underside of the cups and saucers are marked with the green Nymphenburg shield and crown logo first used in 1910. Most of the saucers also have the hand-painted pattern number, as well as the impressed Bavarian shield mark. Established in 1747, Nymphenburg is known for its relentless commitment to craftsmanship and its sustained collaboration with the premier designers and artists of every era. One of the world’s finest creators of porcelain, Nymphenburg has served generations of royalty and its porcelain is immortalized in museums and design collections. This set is guaranteed to be genuine Nymphenburg Perl dinnerware. Please feel free to. Condition of this Nymphenburg #982 Perl cup and saucer set is EXCELLENT with no chips, cracks, or fleabites.
