Description

Hutschenreuther Blue Onion Porcelain Table Accessories, Germany

A charming and elegant selection of table accessories from Lorenz Hutschenreuther, Selb, Bavaria, Germany, presented in the iconic Blue Onion (Zwiebelmuster) pattern. These finely crafted pieces extend the beauty of the dining service to every detail of the table, from presentation to seasoning. Each is rendered in fine white porcelain, richly adorned with deep cobalt blue florals inspired by 18th-century East Asian design traditions.

The Blue Onion motif—originally conceived in the early 1700s by Meissen artisans—became a symbol of refinement across Europe. Hutschenreuther’s interpretation, known for its clarity of glaze and crisp blue artistry, preserves this heritage while adding Bavarian elegance to everyday and formal dining alike.

This five-piece grouping includes:

  • Gravy Boat with Attached Underplate – with handles
  • Round Covered Butter Dish – 7¼"
  • Cheese and Cracker Board – 9⅝"
  • Salt & Pepper Set – 2⅜", 3/5 holes
  • Delfts Windmill Shaker – 2½"

Together, these accessories complete the Blue Onion table with a blend of grace and practicality. From the sculptural butter dome and graceful sauce boat to the charming windmill accent, each piece displays the hallmarks of Hutschenreuther porcelain—purity of form, balance of design, and brilliance of glaze.


Condition

Excellent condition, free from chips, cracks, or repairs. All cobalt detailing remains vivid and finely defined. Surfaces are lustrous and well preserved throughout, indicative of careful display and minimal use.
