History

These pieces were crafted by Zeh, Scherzer & Co., a porcelain manufacturer based in Bavaria, Germany. The company was known for its high-quality hand-painted porcelain, often featuring floral motifs, gold trim, and scalloped edges. After 1918, the style and branding evolved, and while the company continued producing porcelain into the 20th century, the “Royal Munich” mark became less common.
