DescriptionThis object is comprised of a large set of porcelain dinnerware. The set contains a gravy bowl, a butter dish, rectangular and square serving dishes, a large serving dish, a rectangular and oval serving bowl, along with ten soup bowls, ten dinner plates, and six salad plates. The dinner plates and bowls as well as the serving equipment have a pastel-pink color along their outer borders. Gold-colored botanical motifs located within the colored borders line the edges of the objects. The base of the bowls and plates are white with a gold-colored star motif radiating from the center of the objects. The gravy bowl and butter display the same pink background with golden botanical motifs within. The pattern lines the exterior sides of the objects, with the interior and upper portions of the butter dish lid being white. Curved, brass-colored handles emerge from the top of the butter dish lid, the square serving dish lid, and the sides of the other serving equipment. The objects are in good condition with minimal visible signs of corrosion or damage.
