Fluted and Blue Flower 1780-1800
Blue-decorated
porcelain accounted for most of the manufactory's production -
although if was only within reach for the prosperous members
of society.
In
the 18th and 19th century, there were set rules for the
strictly symmetrical positioning of the individual items of
the service around the center of the table. Food was
served in up to three 'sets'. The many dishes had their
permanent position on the table, with guests helping
themselves from the closest dishes. The final 'set'
included desserts.
In the 19th century, the style changed now the table was
almost bare. The dishes were borne round the table, with
everyone eating the same dish.
