1979 Fairytale Collector's Plate: The Snow Queen: This striking display plate, part of the annual Christmas series, depicts an abstract woman on a sled pulled by a horse in excellent monochromatic cobalt blue detail. The design is based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale "The Snow Queen". It measures 10 1/4” in diameter.

Textured White Lidded Orb Bowl: A pure white, spherical lidded bowl featuring a fabulous alternating floral motif that adds great texture. This piece likely belongs to the "Waves Relief" collection designed by Ludwig Zepner in the 1960s. It measures 3 3/4” in diameter.

Blue Onion Lidded Cream Cup: A classic lidded cream cup in the world-famous "Blue Onion" (Zwiebelmuster) pattern, showcasing a handle to one side and traditional foliate decoration. The pattern is based on East Asian motifs of pomegranates and peaches, which were reinterpreted as more familiar flora by Meissen artists.
