Lot Essay

The trompe l'oeil decoration on the present service is meant to immitate the engravings that Nymphenburg painters would pin to their work stations. See A. Ziffer, Nymphenburger Porzellan, Stuttgart, 1997, p. 192, nos. 549-551 for further discussion and a pair of cups and saucers with similar decoration.
