More Than McCoy

Circa: 1890
Manufacturer: Count Thun's Porcelain Factory
Antique hand painted vase featuring roses. c:1890-1895. It is a good sized vase being almost 9 inches tall x 10 wide. There is a lot of depth to the painting on this porcelain vase and according to the archivist at Pewabic Pottery, she is confident this vase was painted by a contemporary of Mary Chase Perry, the founder of Pewabic Pottery, (paperwork provided). She relates that the style is very similar to a large charger in the historic collection of Pewabic. Further research reveals M.C. Perry was a student of the famous rose painter, Franz Bischoff, and the painting is in the same style as a Bischoff piece. Therefore, whomever painted this vase was likely a student of Bischoffs, (this was purchased in MI where Bischoff taught during the time period this vase would have been painted). There appears to be an initial 'D' in green script near handle edge, pic #5, but not sure. Flaws: It has one very tiny fleabite on outer edge of handle pic #7, and just a bit of wear off the gold on the handle as expected, w/some spider lines on bottom. P.H. Leonard was an importer of Vienna china. The bottom has a green backstamp: Vienna, Austria, double shield and crown mark. It has an impressed #55 mold? number and impressed letters: TK on the bottom; mark used from 1830-95. The backstamp indicates this vase was imported by PHL from the Count Thun factory in Klostede, Austria, now called: Klosteresc, Czech. This line of porcelain was supposed to be like the porcelain from the former Imperial and Royal Porcelain Factory, Vienna according to additional research I found on the net. It is a glorious porcelain vase for your collection! 2/09dmaucc-amx
