Porcelain tableware from the family house of Prof. Maria Orwid, daughter of Przemyśl-based lawyer Adolf Pfefer and Klara née Wienstock. The set is decorated with delicate vegetal motifs, beading, and gilding. It consists of a jug, sugar bowl, tray, and six cups with saucers. The jug and the sugar bowl are adorned with the initials RW (Rozalia Weinstock, Maria Orwid’s grandmother).

During World War II, the set, together with other valuables, was hidden by employees of the Przemyśl power station acquainted with the family. After the war, it was returned to Maria and her mother. It was donated to the collection of the National Museum of Przemyśl by Jacek Bomba, Maria Orwid’s close collaborator and friend.
