This UNIQUE square-mouthed pitcher is an elegantly chic ANTIQUE porcelain luster collectible adorned in lush, reddish and soft pink roses from Germany. The pitcher very much reflects a design common to limoge, scrolls in relief highlighting the pitcher ( as you can see in the photos ). What a wonderful addition to any romantic chic or cottage chic décor ! Outstanding piece to display or add to your collection OR PERFECT GIFT! Absolutely no sign of crazing or cracks. The transfer is also in tact with only a tiny flake or two but does not detract from its beauty.
This item is dated to the last quarter of the 1800’s. The country name, GERMANY, is within a circle in red with what appears to be the number 81 .
