R.S. Prussia Porcelain


Rare R.S. Prussia Bowl  1905-1910



         
                                         
 Rare R. S. Prussia bowl mold # 106. Antique Reinhold Schlegelmilch porcelain manufactured between 1905-1910, marked with red & green Prussia Wreath & Star.
Mold #106 (Mary Frank Gaston Collectors Encyclopedia of R. S. Prussia) - "five recessed domes alternating with fleur-de-lys sections" bowl measures 10.5 inches wide and 3.25 inches tall.

The center pattern is Rose transfer, one bloomed and one not yet bloomed pink rose and one yellow rose with green leaf trim. Gold paint on edges is in good shape for its age, there is some minor gold loss. Bowl has a hairline crack and repair near top edge as evident in the two photos.

This bowl was part of a designers estate and was in storage for many years until now.

The close up photo of the mark was taken on microscope mode, hence the white LED dots. There is some reflection in the photos that could not be avoided and still use natural sunlight.

  1. This is a really neat blog, Laura! I love the way you combine the history of pieces with the pieces themselves. My grandmother loved ceramics and knew them well, but that gene bypassed me. I remember going to the stock market in Norton and she'd go to the folks selling carnival glass or whatever and pick her pieces. Great job!

    The factory was located in Poland in Tulowice city (name of the city before WWII - Tillowitz). The oryginal factory does not exist since long time. But there is lot of collectors who love Tulowice porcelain.
    You can find the catalog of oryginal Tillowitz porcelain on the page:
