Berte Jessen Annette Design 1960's

I managed to pick up a superb Royal Copenhagen fajance tea setting last week at auction. It was designed by Berte Jessen in the 1960's for Alumina - Royal Copenhagen. It has to be one of the most beautiful designs I have come accross by Berte. I love the texture and depth of colour she manages to get in her designs.

The pattern is called "Annette" and each piece has slight variations in colour and texture, accentuating the handmade feel of the wares. So beautiful to the touch too.

The set I bought consists of 6 cups & saucers, 6 plates, milk jug and sugar bowl - It would have been amazing to have the teapot to match as well. You can see one on ebay currently HERE - breathtakingly beuatiful.
