A VIENNA PORCELAIN LAVENDER-GROUND TETE-A-TETE 1802

each piece painted with a gilt-edged mythological panel and an elaborate border of neoclassical panels and devices, comprising: a rectangular tray, a coffeepot and cover, a milk jug, a tea canister and cover, two coffee cans and saucers, a small oval tazza and two covers, impressed date code 802 and other impressed numerals. 13 pieces.

The tray has a small firing-related crack across the top of the pierced edge. The cover of the coffee pot is lacking; the cover as listed actually belongs to the milk jug. The cover of the milk jug is restored. One coffee can has a small reglued chip to the foot at the lower right corner on the side below the painted panel. The cover of the tea canister is broken and restored back. There is a miniscule chip to the corner of the base of the tazza. There is some minor wear to gilding under the rim and around the flange of cups' covers.
