ABOUT PRODUCTID 17168
This five-piece spice set by Thomas (Rosenthal), produced in Germany in the early 1930s, reflects quintessential Art Deco design with pronounced oriental influences. The set includes a salt shaker, pepper shaker, small creamer, round sugar bowl, and oval serving tray, all made from white porcelain with a glossy, glazed finish. Each piece is adorned with a vivid red-orange Chinese dragon motif, applied as a transfer print, a clear homage to the fascination with Asian art in pre-war European decorative trends. The salt and pepper shakers are capped with 800-grade silver domed lids that display a subtle patina, attesting to their age and authenticity. Smoothly rounded bodies, gently arched tray edges, and harmonious proportions create a cohesive whole. The set is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of use, chips, or discoloration. The ensemble speaks to the era of prewar Europe, when porcelain was as much an artistic statement as a functional table item. The dragon motif winding around the gleaming vessels evokes dreams of faraway travels and was both a status symbol and a sign of enthusiasm for new design influences in 1930s interiors. The contrast between porcelain's lustrous surface and the understated sheen of the silver lids could tell stories of elegant gatherings
