This rare footed dish - or, compote - is by the famour German Porcelain factory of Rosenthale. They are one

of the top porcelain companies in the World - and probably the equivalent of Royal Worcester.

I date it to the 1920's or, 30's - although this has to be confirmed. The Tiger Lily is exquisite in it's style and

execution and the surrounding foliage is equally well done. It is a valuable piece - particularly since the matt

black background is unmarked. Everything has been hand done - including the 22 carat gold surround.

I doubt if anyone ever put fruit in it - which is just as well with this decoration........

Stuka - a nice dish. Not the quality of Rosenthal , but attractive. Those prices seem quite reasonable ? Mervyn

Hey Mervin,

it isn't the Rosenthal quality, but nice never the less. Price is more or less ok, but you need to add the 9% costs for the auctioneer and the parcel cost, without knowing if it will be well packed and arrive safely....
