A decadent Meissen tea set unveiled in London

The ultimate high tea accessory for summer is part of an extensive Meissen collection assembled by London's David Brower Antiques in celebration of the German porcelain manufacturer’s 300th anniversary.
Nestled on quaint Kensington Church Street, amongst the largest collection of antiques galleries in the U.K., David Brower Antiques is showcasing a delicately decorated tea set in the delightful Schneeballen Meissen design.
Schneeballen translates to "snowball" in English and refers to the service's exquisite design. Hundreds and often thousands of small, handmade and applied porcelain flowers form these incredible pieces.
Johann Joachim Kaendler, Meissen’s most famous artistic director, was behind the delicate snowball style, a design innovation which transformed functional objects into decorative works of art.
