Beyond Exceptional is this antique 1880s German cake server. It’s a pristine example- a most impressive example- of fine German craftsmanship. Back stamp dates this between 1875 - 1935, acquired from a dear friend and somewhat of a local legend known for her gun-slinging & eel eating days, who antiqued her way through the old shops on a cobblestone road in Virginia. Miss you Charlie 🖤. Carl Tielsch founded the Altwasser factory in 1845, and swiftly became second largest porcelain factory in Silesia. Products of the Tielsch factory quickly became known for its high quality and artistic values. Their quality was compared to porcelain manufactures from Berlin or even Meissen. Bavarian born Marie Antoinette would most definitely give this beautiful cake plate a thumbs up, think silky-smooth shiny raised textured pretty pink ribbons outlined in gold, on a pale blue but vibrant almost Sky-Like backdrop, with pink & purple lilacs and pink roses. It’s a total girlie texture Dream! Suitable for gift giving, totally Heirloom and Bespoke worthy. 13” handle to handle Altwasser Silesia Marie Antoinette
