Description
We are very pleased to present this wonderful pair of German hand painted floral porcelain creamers from Reinhold Schlegelmilch (RS), and from Hermann Ohme. The smaller creamer carries the R.H. Capers embossed Schlegelmilch Detailed Star #RS 2.7x9, which can be seen on Page #121 of Capers’ Notes on the Marks of Prussia / by R.H. Capers – 1996. The significance of the embossed stars is not exactly known. However, two postulates are known, with one being that the stars are found on Reinhold Schlegelmilch blanks to be independently decorated, and the second is that the stars either enhance or strengthen the bases of certain items. If the stars were specifically produced for contract decoration, then it is difficult to understand why many of these embossings are accompanied by proper RS Prussia & RS Germany base marks. What is more tantalizing than a conundrum? Our Herman Ohme creamer carries one of the base stamps which was used only between 1920 & 1930. The Ohme creamer measures 4.75 x 4 x 4.5 inches tall, and the RS creamer measures 4 x 3 x 4 inches tall, with both weighing 12 oz.
