Note: Zeisel did not design a dessert plate for Schramberg; model 3003 is a shape designed prior to her tenure used to complete services she had devised. On Zeisel’s work for the Schramberger Majolikafabrik, see Pat Moore, “Schramberger Majolikafabrik,” in Eva Zeisel: Life, Design, and Beauty, 2013, pp. 46-51.

Overall good condition. The top of the Teapot (nearest the spout) with some small areas of repair; the foot of the teapot with a small break and repair (about ¾ of an inch in length, slightly discolored); one of the saucers apparently with a different colored glaze on underside, possibly from a repair. Otherwise, some scattered tiny nicks typical of age, use, and material.
