This Antique RS Prussian Hand Painted Roses Hydrangeas Tankard Pitcher Vase Decanter is very beautiful with its design of pink roses and white hydrangeas set off against a deep turquoise color. On the reverse side, you see a morning glory flower with lily of the valley coming out of it. It's a very unusual and delicate hand painted decoration.
It has an Art Nouveau design shape with sinuous handle. Lots of gold gilding makes this pitcher shine.
Because of the Art Nouveau esthetic, it was probably made between 1900-1914.
This decanter is part of my great great uncle's art pottery and glass collection that my grandmother inherited in the early 1970's. I have been selling half the collection over the past year. Please see my other related art glass and pottery listings. More to come.
The tankard is in excellent condition with no issues.
It measures 10.5" tall by 8 3/4" wide at the widest point. The top opening is 6" long by 4" wide. Please see soda can for scale.
More about the RS Prussia company:
Reinhold Schlegelmilch produced what collectors consider to be R.S. Prussia (RSP for short) in his factory in Suhl, Germany, from the late 1800s through World War I. Following the war, the factory moved to Tillowitz, Germany, and after World War II the factory once again shifted venue, this time to Poland. R.S. Prussia pieces were and continue to be highly valued, though individual pieces may be more or less expensive depending on a number of factors.
About the R.S. Prussia Company
Throughout its history, the R.S. Prussia company manufactured a wide range of china pieces and sets, including teapots, cups and saucers, plates, sugar bowls, and even chocolate sets. Most pieces were decorated with imitation opals, gold, or iridescent finishes and feature paintings of flowers, portraits, or scenes from nature which were applied through lithographic transfers. Later pitchers and vases pieces, influenced by Art Nouveau, had arms and handles with designs similar to the borders on posters by Alphonse Mucha.
Lavish gold embellishments enhance many of the gaudiest, and most popular, RSP pieces.
Marks
Those pieces marked "R.S. Prussia" in red lettering surrounded by a green wreath were made at the turn of the last century. This is sometimes referenced as the "red mark" by collectors. It remains the most popular and recognized mark among fans of this type of porcelain, although a number of others were used.
Mold Shapes
Evaluating the various mold shapes is another interesting aspect of learning about this porcelain. Molds used vary from simple to extremely ornate, and with most avid collectors, the fancier the better. Blown out flowers, ornately shaped handles and spouts, and beautifully curving finials all add to the appeal of RSP.
It will be sent well wrapped and double boxed from a smoke-free home.
