The Artistry & History Step back into an era of unparalleled European craftsmanship with this remarkable, near-complete set of 11 bread and butter plates from the renowned Carl Schumann Porzellanfabrik in Arzberg, Bavaria. Bearing the distinguished blue underglaze lion shield mark alongside the “Dresdner Art China” gold overglaze crown, these pre-war pieces showcase the spectacular design elegance that made German porcelain the gold standard of the early-to-mid 20th century.
