This piece is a stunningly large porcelain serving or compote bowl raised by 4 putti figures who are carrying it with stripes painted across their bodies. All 4 sides are adorned with intricate porcelain wreaths and flowers. The center of the interior is a large floral bouquet with small flowers around the walls. The wavy rim is adorned with gold gilt.

The details around this piece are wonderful. It measures 13"x10"x6" and is in excellent condition.

The Von Schierholz porcelain factory was established in 1815 in Plaue, Thuringia, East Germany, having originally been started in Dornheim in the early 19th century. The factory produced high-quality Dresden ware in a rococo style trimmed with gilt and flowers. The triple oak leaf mark was adopted in 1899 and the shield frame and crown were added in 1910 and used through the mid-1920s when this piece appears to have been made.


Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: This bowl with figures is in excellent condition. There are no visible chips but there is one hairline crack on one of the putti's chests (see the last photo). There is some slight age discoloration on the cherubs, but possibly could be painted that way by the maker since the bowl does not have the same. Some faint (smudged) writing can be seen on the bottom of the bowl, along with the number 10.
