Today they serve just as beautifully as tea bag holders, ring dishes, small coasters, or a collected display. A wonderful gift for a Fragonard collector, a German porcelain enthusiast, a lover of Victorian or Biedermeier decorative arts, or anyone setting a table that deserves something genuinely antique at every place.

This is an antique set of six German porcelain individual pieces in the Fragonard Courting Couple pattern with scattered flowers — gold-rimmed, each featuring a different Victorian courting couple decal at the center, surrounded by delicate scattered florals. These pieces once sat at each place setting at elegantly appointed tables — small, individual, deliberately decorative, meant to be both used and admired. At 3.25 inches in diameter with a protruding rest, the form suits a tea table as naturally as it did its original purpose. The Fragonard pattern takes its name from Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806), the French Rococo master whose pastoral scenes of courtship and leisure became among the most beloved images in European decorative arts. Based on the floral pattern, the gold rim treatment, and the quality of the porcelain, we believe these are very likely unmarked Carl Teichert Meissen pieces in the Biedermeier Floral pattern — a prestigious attribution that matches both the design language and the period. Unmarked, as was not uncommon for export pieces of this era.
