The center features a detailed European waterside landscape, depicting a church with tall steeple, surrounding buildings and trees, figures along the shoreline, and a small sailboat on the water. The scenic decoration is framed by richly shaded porcelain and an ornate molded border, creating a particularly striking display piece. The underside bears the distinctive red R. Prussia star-and-wreath factory mark with “Prussia” beneath, associated with Reinhold Schlegelmilch porcelain production. Form: Scenic handled bowl / decorative serving bowl. Decoration: European church, architectural landscape, figures, water and sailboat. Colors: Purple, lavender, amber, cream, gold and multicolor. Features: Pierced handles, deeply molded scalloped rim, scenic decoration, gilt accents and gold stencil ornament. Origin: Prussia / Germany. Prussia red star-and-wreath factory mark.

An excellent addition to a collection of R. Prussia, Reinhold Schlegelmilch, antique German porcelain, Art Nouveau porcelain or European scenic ceramics.
