I think the 'galleon' set is often attributed to Walther because the sailng ships on the galleon set tray do have a passing resemblance to Walther's Segelschiff centrepiece, shown on Pamela's site at

though, without any firm evidence it's very much a case of '2 + 2 =5'.

Hi there

The colour / shade of the Galleon dressing table set is not right for Walther. The shape of the tray is very similar to the lady dressing set as discussed in this post and the moulding of these pieces are not as good as those made in Walther I have to say.

Walther Segelscliff centrepiece doesn't look like the Galleon dressing table set at all  :).

Cheers
Brenton

... Just want to add, that I also have several of these sets. They have often been mistakenly termed as Egyptian pattern due to what appears to be pyramids, but is in fact a landscape. I only 'assume' that the image is of the three graces perhaps? They are very nice though, particularly the candlesticks which unlike the Walther Nymphen's, are oposed left & right. They are also noticeably smaller in height. As for the maker? A mystery.

... also, my sets are slightly different with their components. One has two small pots with lady lids and one larger, and with the intaglio lid as a trinket dish. The other set has no lady lidded pots, but the intaglio ones. Again, I presume that like with many sets, one purchased what they required from the range at time of manufacture??? erm, just a pause for thought: I never rely upon labels. Particularly Czech ones. They have been faked & forged even to this day and stuck upon all manner of glass, but that is not to say that I question the integrity of the seller. Just my own observation.

Hi All,
Thought I would post a few pictures of this deco dressing table set, as far as I am aware this set hasn't been attributed to date, please correct me if I am wrong. Not my usual thing, however, nice to encounter fully complete.

All thoughts welcome, more than happy for photos to be used if desired by other GMB members.

Thanks
Greg

Hello
If you look at the middle figure on the tray she is just like the lady flower frog by Mueller that sometimes comes in a bowl with 3 winged feet.Even down to the belt on her dress and the folds down the front of the skirt.Anyone else notice this?

Well spotted Nige...

These sets are often desribed as being the "Egyptian Pattern," but there is nothing Egyptian about them.

The three 'pyramid' shapes are in fact a part of the landscape...
The Three Graces would perhaps be a better description... ????

Also, the trinket dish of this set has an intaglio profile of a MALE, unlike the other component pieces of this set.

These dishes are also lids of the pots upon certain examples of complete sets.
"COMPLETE" being a personal requirement at time of purchase,
as with like most so-called trinket sets, produced by most factories of the period... Walther included.

NYMPHEN and also PIERROT & PIERRETTE (for example) both had their trays introduced as stand-alone items and were made available long before any other component items for each were then produced...

John
