About this work
This tea service was likely a gift from Elector Frederick Augustus II to Tsarina Elizabeth of Russia. She had a particular affection for Meissen porcelain and Chinese inspired decorative designs. The gilded silver stand was specially designed to elevate the set into a true highlight of a reception room.
