Bavarian Porcelain Dinnerware Set By Carl Schumann Factory 54 Pieces
Bavarian Porcelain Dinnerware Set By Carl Schumann Factory 54 Pieces

Bavarian Porcelain Dinnerware Set By Carl Schumann Factory 54 Pieces

Located in Roma, IT

Bavarian Porcelain Dinnerware Set By Carl Schumann Factory 54 Pieces This wonderful dinnerware set, produced by the Carl Schumann Porcelain Factory in Arzberg, is a quintessential example of mid-20th-century Bavarian porcelain craftsmanship. [Crafted from high-quality, translucent white porcelain, frequently referred to in the industry as "White Gold" for its purity and delicate resonance. The set features the iconic "Echt Cobalt" (True Cobalt) underglaze technique. The central motif is the "Dresden Flowers" or "Blue Rose" pattern. It consists of finely detailed, hand-painted floral bouquets, often featuring a central rose surrounded by smaller wildflowers and foliage. The pieces exhibit Rococo Revival influences, seen in the scalloped edges and the subtle basketweave (ozier) relief or "Rose Relief" embossing along the rims. Many items are finished with a delicate gold gilt trim or "Dresden edge," adding a layer of formal elegance and highlighting the rhythmic, scalloped borders. Established in 1881 in Arzberg, Bavaria, the Schumann factory became renowned for its sophisticated "Dresdner Art". This specific style remains highly collectible due to its fusion of traditional 18th-century European floral aesthetics with the refined production standards of 20th-century German manufacturing. This set, never before on the market, comes from an important european private collection This, important porcelain service consists of a total of 54 pieces, as follows: 42 Round dinner plates (flat and deep) Dimensions 13 plates diameter cm 25.5 6 plates diameter cm 21.5 11 plates diameter cm 20 12 plates diameter cm 17 The focal point is a central bouquet featuring blue flowers (often referred to in catalogs as the "Blue Flower" or "Dresden Blue...

Chinese Export Porcelain Dutch Armorial Plates, Arms of Van Gellicum, Kangxi

Located in Downingtown, PA

Chinese Export Porcelain Dutch Armorial Plates, Arms of Van Gellicum, Chinese Imari Rouge de Fer, Late Kangxi Period, Circa 1720–1730 This exceptional pair of Chinese Export porcelain armorial plates was commissioned for the Dutch Van Gellicum family in the late Kangxi period, circa 1720–1730. The plates are masterfully decorated in the striking rouge de fer palette of the Chinese Imari taste, featuring a central coat of arms encircled by a delicate floral scroll border. The outer rim is richly adorned with rocks, flowers, leaves, and distinctive zig-zag lines. These zig-zag motifs represent a thunderbolt, a design element frequently seen on Delft faience of the first quarter of the 18th century, itself heavily influenced by Japanese patterns. Between the center and rim lies an elegant band of scrollwork and intricate flower sprays. The prominent coat of arms features a chevron between three eagles and a bezant, with an unidentified charge in chief. The crest displays a heron-like bird clutching an eel or snake in its beak, positioned gracefully between two wings. According to Jochem Kroes in Chinese Armorial Porcelain for the Dutch Market, Chinese porcelain bearing this Dutch family...

Antique and Vintage Porcelain Dinner Plates, Platters and Serveware for Sale

Today you’re likely to bring out your antique and vintage porcelain in order to dress up your dining table for a special meal.

Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material.

Meissen Porcelain, one of the first factories to create real porcelain outside Asia, popularized figurine centerpieces during the 18th century in Germany, while works by Capodimonte, a porcelain factory in Italy, are synonymous with flowers and notoriously hard to come by. Modern porcelain houses such as Maison Fragile of Limoges, France — long a hub of private porcelain manufacturing — keep the city’s long tradition alive while collaborating with venturesome contemporary artists such as illustrator Jean-Michel Tixier.

Porcelain is not totally clumsy-guest-proof, but it is surprisingly durable and easy to clean. Its low permeability and hardness have rendered porcelain wares a staple in kitchens and dining rooms as well as a common material for bathroom sinks and dental veneers. While it is tempting to store your porcelain behind closed glass cabinet doors and reserve it only for display, your porcelain dinner plates and serving platters can safely weather the “dangers” of the dining room and be used during meals.

Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is stronger than ceramic because it is denser. 

On 1stDibs, browse an expansive collection of antique and vintage porcelain made in a variety of styles, including Regency, Scandinavian modern and other examples produced during the mid-century era, plus Rococo, which found its inspiration in nature and saw potters crafting animal figurines and integrating organic motifs such as floral patterns in their work.
