I believe it was about 40 years ago. This is a truly rare piece, even among Fürstenberg porcelain from Germany. Moreover, I acquired it a long time ago, so I think it's difficult to obtain now. I haven't seen it on Mercari or other auctions, but looking at the back, it's definitely marked with the Fürstenberg mark. It also says "hand printed" on the bottom. I fell in love with it at the WAKO tableware department❣️ But the price was such that I couldn't easily afford it, so I went home once... I couldn't give up on it, and I have strong memories of finally getting it after going back. Also, I have strong memories of going to WAKO with excitement to buy a cake plate some time after that. Don't you think this pattern, these colors, and this design are not often found?? Fürstenberg is a renowned manufacturer, second only to Meissen as one of the oldest famous kilns in Germany. Even so, I've hardly seen this set, and I think it's a very rare series, with many "super" adjectives attached. I think I was very lucky to have obtained this unknown masterpiece from such a famous kiln. Sizes... Cup... Diameter approx. 9.5 x 5.5cm Saucer... Diameter approx. 13.8 x 2.5cm Cake plate...
