Was a Dresden decorating shop founded by its namesake around 1891. He decorated porcelain blanks in the style of Royal Vienna and Meissen. He was extremely talented in both decoration and repair. He immigrated to the United States in 1901 where he worked for Lenox Inc. The company did not export much of their wares to the United States.It is very hard to find pieces by Heufel for sale in the domestic antique marketplace; therefore, making them highly coveted and collectible. Condition: One faint tight hairline inside the cup that is only visible from the inside. The hairline has not penetrated to the exterior of the cup.
The bottom of the saucer has a small faint orange smudge of discoloration on the porcelain that appears to be natural from the making. One spot of gold gilt loss on the handle and some gilt loss on the saucer's interior ring where the cup rests. No chips, crazing or repairs. Overall this set is in very good condition but please see pictures for complete assessment.If there are any other minor flaws they are from the manufacturing process.
