Buyer's premium:

A set of white glazed ceramic child’s tea or coffee service, attributed to the German Democratic Republic (RDA) and dating to the mid-20th century. The service comprises a large pitcher, a smaller creamer, a lidded sugar bowl, three cups, and two saucers. Each piece features a delicate floral transfer-print decoration of red roses and small blue flowers with green foliage, accented by a thin red band along the rims. The forms, particularly the angular design of the large pitcher, are characteristic of the period. No manufacturer’s marks or text are discernible on the pieces.
