With its cylindrical-oval basic shape, the angular handles, stylised pine cones for lid knobs and the surrounding model line, HERZOG FERDINAND is a truly timeless original of classicism. The porcelain, with its clear and austere shaping gives a clue to the elegance of past upmarket table culture. FÜRSTENBERG furnished the Grand Hotel Heilgendamm at the Baltic Sea in Germany completely with this tableware series originally designed in 1780.
