Tea cup and plate, set of 5, from dutch manufacture Societe Ceramique Maastricht.

Beautiful ceramic tea set, decorated with a damask rose motif, in monochrome grey transferware, hand painted by hand with 24k gold accent details. The transferware technique is a printing method which was developed in England in the mid-18th century.
On the back there is a stamp "Made in Holland. Maastricht ceramic company." surrounding a lion. The entrepreneurs Winand Nicolaas Clermont and Charles Chainaye founded a pottery in the Wijck district of Maastricht in 1851. Their business was taken over in 1859 by the Belgian engineer Guillaume Lambert and transformed into a limited partnership. Four years later, it became a partnership with limited liability, generally known as the “Ceramic Company”.
This tea set shows little defects such as darkening, but no cracks or scuffs.
