Antique R S Germany Ball Footed Floral Bowl

This lovely bowl, circa 1910 - 1920, is decorated with several large white and purple colored blossoms with slender brown stems. The bowl measures 5 1/4" across and 3 1/4" deep and is highlighted with a narrow gold rim. Marked "R.S.Germany" in green. There are no cracks, chips, or repairs. The "RS" is derived from the founder, Reinhold Schlegelmilch, but the work of his sons, Arnold and Ehrhard, made the mark famous. With factories in Suhl and Tillowitz, most of their production was exported from 1892 until the beginning of World War I. The Suhl factory closed before the end of World War I; the Tillowitz factory remained operational until the beginning of World War II. The items we sell are not new.
