My grandmother wrote a note and put it in the creamer of this set, informing me that this set been in my family for a long time. Knowing I would never sell it, I still want to know the style of this set - was there a name for this Eschenbach pattern/design? Was it used for tea and cookies or coffee?

very beautiful set!!!!!!!!!!
Eschenbach U.S. Zone mark used 1946-1949 - Below is information I found but cannot locate a pattern name;
Factory Porzellanfabrik Oscar Schaller & Co. Nachfolger located in Schwarzenbach (Saxony-Anhalt), which at that point was a branch of the Gebrüder Winterling O.H.G. in Röslau (Upper Franconia, Bavaria). Products under the 'Eschenbach' mark were changed. Up until 1935 the status of quality porcelain had been established resulting in a strong economic upturn. But World War II left scars even in Windischeschenbach. The reason that only a small range of china from the 1913 to 1945 period still exists is that all china design ranges as well as all brochures and leaflets and nearly all company documents and correspondence were lost during the eviction by American soldiers. To get production on the way again the factory used molds from the defunct Porzellan-Manufaktur Allach-München G.m.b.H. and the resulting product range of course mostly included ornamental plates and tableware.
Your grandmother took good care of this gorgeous set. I'm glad it will stay in the family.
I should have added - yes, it is a gorgeous set.
