The splendid table The connection between food and power, between table and decoration,
has a long tradition. Lavishly filled banquet tables, rich in opulence and in the variety
of the served dishes, have been a common practice of self-portrayal since the Middle Ages
in order to increase one's own prestige. From around the 17th century onwards, there was
an increasing tendency to stage banquets for guests as even greater spectacles. Festively
laid tables became a status symbol for the rulers. With so-called "entremets", the hosts
not only represented their wealth, but also demonstrated their power and status in
society. Dishes were intended to entertain and amuse the guests, but also to surprise
them. Artfully staged centrepieces, elaborately crafted works of art made of fruit or
sugar adorned the table. Imitations from the animal world but also architectural replicas
made of tragacanth sugar were very popular. There were no limits to the cooks'
imagination. Sometimes even living birds could fly out of the dishes.

All parts with age and use-related abrasions, fine scratches and superficial soiling. Gold decor with more severe abrasions in some spots. Lid of the hot water jug with flat, small chip on underside. Not visible from the outside. Chip on the underside of each of the handles of the large serving platter. 19 pieces consisting of: 1 coffee pot (h. incl. lid 19cm) 1 teapot (h. incl. lid 16cm) 1 milk jug (h. incl. lid 14cm) 1 cream jug (h. 8,5cm), penny mark without scepter 1 sugar bowl (7,5x9x9,5cm), penny mark without scepter 1 large platter (32x43cm) 1 bowl (Ø18cm) 6 cups 6 saucers
