Vintage Blue Windmill Porcelain Tray & Coaster Set

Vintage Hand-painted German Porcelain Tray and Coaster Set with Windmills. The coasters measures about 3: across by .75" deep. The prorcelain is in very good condition. The metal surrounding the tray is a little bent.

This striking service set captures the serene essence of the Dutch countryside, though it originates from the skilled porcelain traditions of mid-century Germany. The central tray serves as a canvas for a sprawling maritime narrative, rendered in a classic cobalt blue palette that evokes the timeless charm of Delftware. A prominent windmill anchors the shoreline, flanked by traditional cottages and a fleet of sailboats navigating calm waters. The four matching coasters echo these vignettes, providing a cohesive visual experience for a curated drink service.

Each piece is secured within a decorative metal gallery featuring a delicate pierced motif, adding a touch of industrial structure to the soft, hand-painted porcelain. This set likely graced a 1950s sideboard, ready for an afternoon of coffee or spirits. While the metal surrounding the primary tray shows some gentle characteristic bending from decades of utility, it only serves to highlight the authentic history of the collection. For a modern home, this set offers a beautiful bridge between tradition and utility. Consider styling these on a dark wood bar cart or using the tray as a focal centerpiece for a Coastal & tropical or Lodge inspired interior to provide a sharp, cool-toned contrast to warmer textures.

This item is vintage, approximately 75 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
