Rosenthal is a long-standing tableware brand, established in 1879 in a workshop at Erkersreuth Castle in Germany, and is highly regarded worldwide. This is a beautiful embossed item created through a collaboration between Rosenthal and Takashimaya, and is a valuable piece from a series that has already been discontinued and will be difficult to obtain in the future. It has been used a few times for guests, but there are no noticeable scratches or stains. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Returns are not accepted to prevent product substitution. I am not always at home, so it may take some time, but I will accept additional photos, etc., so please feel free to comment. Tea cups & saucers, 5 pieces.
