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...
