A friend of mine has this set that his parents bought in the early 20th Century. It is Alka Bavaria and the pattern is called Rosemarie.
The pic is a sample of the cup only,
He has the teapot, sugar bowl, milk jug and six cups and saucers - all in perfect condition, not one crack nick or blemish of any sort.
My questions are: What is the value of such a Tea set?
I cannot find this particular pattern anywhere on the net, similar ones but not this exact one - so I am wondering if it is very rare?
Is the gold in this actually real gold? I see that some of the other gold pieces in similar designs are 20 ct gold.
Lastly, is there a market for this set?
I am new in this antique field, have learnt a lot already in one week! But I do need help!!
Thanks
