Nymphenburg Palace is said to have been the model for "Beauty and the Beast," an enduring masterpiece among Disney films. Within this palace, built as the summer residence of the Bavarian kings, lies the Nymphenburg Manufactory, a purveyor to the Bavarian royal family. Nymphenburg is one of the seven great kilns, alongside renowned German brands like Meissen and KPM, considered the highest quality porcelain brands. As it is not widely distributed in Japan, it tends to be favored by connoisseurs of ceramics. However, the production of Nymphenburg porcelain is entirely done by meticulous handwork, with manufacturing techniques passed down since its founding being preserved. This is a modern tableware set in the Louis XVI style, from the "Pearl" series. In Europe, there is a custom of passing down tableware from mother to daughter, and from daughter to granddaughter, so you can order additional pieces of the same item.

(See reference image on the 20th slide, from the official website) The "Pearl" series name comes from the pearl-like round beads adorning the rim of the tableware. As this was part of a collection and displayed, it is in a condition close to unused. The plates were stored with cushioning sheets to prevent scratches. The foot of the creamer has some minor black scuff marks. This is a rare and exquisite piece that is seldom seen, so we encourage anyone who loves tableware to take this opportunity to acquire it.
