Antique Carl Tielsch (C.T.) Altwasser porcelain tea and coffee service, dating most likely to circa 1890–1910, and comprising 39 pieces in a delicate pink floral ribbon garland pattern with gilt trim. The set is marked on the underside with the green eagle and “C.T.” backstamp associated with Carl Tielsch of Altwasser, Silesia, a respected German porcelain manufacturer founded in 1845 and known for finely made decorative wares. The green eagle C.T. mark is generally associated with production spanning the late 19th to early 20th century, while the molded form and decoration suggest a late Victorian to Edwardian period origin.

This elegant antique porcelain service features embossed white porcelain with soft pink floral swags, lilac ribbon motifs, and fine hand-finished gilt rims. The design is romantic, highly decorative, and unmistakably European, making it ideal for collectors of antique German porcelain, Victorian tea wares, and refined country house interiors.

🔹 Service Composition (39 pieces total)

  • 12 cups – approx. 8.5 cm diameter, height 5 cm – 11 intact, 1 with small chip

  • 12 saucers – approx. 14.5 cm diameter, height 2 cm – 11 intact, 1 with small rim chip

  • 11 dessert / cake plates – approx. 15 cm diameter, height 2 cm – all intact

🔹 Serving Pieces

  • 1 tall coffee pot – approx. 19 × 22 cm – intact

  • 1 tea pot – approx. 27 × 25 cm – intact

  • 1 sugar bowl – approx. 12 × 13 cm – intact

  • 1 creamer – approx. 11 × 9 cm – intact

🔹 Condition

Condition is very good antique condition overall for a service of this age. Only two matching pieces show minor damage: one cup has a small chip and the corresponding saucer has a small rim chip. All other pieces are intact. One dessert plate is missing from what would otherwise have been a complete 12-person service.

Despite these minor imperfections, the set presents beautifully and remains a rare and highly decorative near-complete 39-piece Carl Tielsch service with strong display value and practical usability.

🔹 Additional Notes

Carl Tielsch porcelain from Altwasser is appreciated for its quality craftsmanship, elegant molded forms, and refined decoration. Comparable tea and coffee services are regularly offered on international antiques markets, and larger, near-complete sets such as this are especially desirable when the decoration is cohesive and the overall condition remains strong.
