This is a set of a coffee pot, creamer, and sugar pot, likely manufactured in East Germany around 1950-1990. It's part of a full set I purchased from an antique shop in Moscow during my time there shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I initially thought it was an antique, but after checking the markings on the bottom, it appears to be from the East German era. Therefore, it hasn't reached the 100-year mark to be considered an antique, and it's classified as a relatively modern item. I bought the full set, but unfortunately, I accidentally broke and discarded two sets of cups and saucers. I recently purchased replacements from a well-known shop, and I noticed a difference in the color. The newer ones have noticeably thinner paint. It's brighter, if you want to be positive, or feels lighter, if you want to be negative. As it's a high-end item from Meissen, I don't think it's made in China, Thailand, or Vietnam like some recent products from a certain Scandinavian manufacturer. However, European brands seem to have the stance that they can manufacture anywhere as long as they make a profit, so I'm not sure I can trust even Meissen. In that sense, this item, clearly made in East Germany, may have a more certain origin. As you can see from the photos, there are no scratches or chips anywhere. The price is set low, considering the condition. It's also part of my decluttering efforts. If you'd like to see more details, please comment, and I'll add photos once.
