This stunning 35 piece dining set was made by MZ in the 1940's in Czechoslovakia. The opalescent and iridescent gilded set includes: 11 large dinner plates with scalloped edges, 6 medium plates with scalloped edges, 11 saucers, 6 small plates, and 1 large lidded pot. The undersides are all numbered and marked with the official MZ crest. The crest dates the set to the 1940's. MZ is known for high quality products, but this rare design is really something else! Each piece has a captivating "Mother of Pearl" lustreware finish, accented with gilt gold edges, rims, and handles. The lustreware finish has a pearl / opalescent beauty that cannot be rivaled when sunlight or indoor lighting hits it! The perfect set for an MZ collector, a mid-century modern home, or a dinning room that needs a little extra pizazz. Based on the count of dinner plates, the set would accommodate 11 people with some extra plates to use as you please.

Condition:
