Tea Cup & Saucer in the Parnass Pattern by Heinrich

Recently listed at AuntJanesAttic is a beautiful set of vintage 1970′s Heinrich fine china in the Parnass pattern. The bright, colorful pattern is a classic floral Asian-inspired style with a pink fantasy peony flower in the center and blue and yellow blossoms, and green leaves winding around the blossoms. This is a large set, which includes a large assortment of serving pieces as well. Serving platters, a tea pot and a coffee pot, biscuit barrel with lid (don’t see too many of those in sets from the 1970′s), vegetable bowls, and creamer.

I found it in a cute little shop in Milford and brought it home to the Attic to give it a wider exposure by listing it on eBay! This is fine porcelain china, made by the esteemed German porcelain maker, Heinrich & Co. Established in 1896 by Franz Heinrich in Selb, Germany, the company became a subsidiary of Villeroy & Boch in 1979.

The condition of this set is very good considering its age. It has been used, but lightly. There are no chips or cracks on any listed items. The dinner plates and platters seem to show the most wear – if you look closely you can see some scratches to the design – but the scratches don’t stand out since it is such a busy design.

This would be a really pretty set to use in the summer with its profusion of blossoms – it would be so pretty in a garden setting on a wicker or bamboo table! It would also be lovely in the winter to bring color and life to a winter table setting! Check out this Heinrich Parnass dinner set in my eBay store Aunt Janes Attic!
