Description

OHME SILESIA GERMAN PORCELAIN TUREEN Old Ivory Victorian Rose Transferware 1890
A hand decorated, transferware, porcelain lidded tureen or biscuit jar, by OHME of Silesia, Germany (now western Poland)
OHME porcelain is highly sought for their high quality wares. This piece is no exception. Several extra steps were needed to produce this ware. The soft, detailed transfer of the roses and buds, along with the intricate, art nouveau styled borders and gold gilt highlights are hand detailed
OHME began production in 1882 and ended in 1928. This pitcher is probably a late 19th century product, possibly 1880s or 1890s
Base is marked with three transfer markings indicating the pottery, OHME, from the German state of Silesia, and it being a piece from the Old Ivory line
Condition is very good. One tiny pinhead sized flat flake is found along the side of the top rim, along the gilt strip as illustrated. Some light smudging on the ivory paint would likely wash off with a more detailed cleaning
Measures 5.5" tall with lid, 3.75" without lid, 5.5” in diameter
