Gorgeous hand-painted and gilded Bavaria blackberries nut bowl

Antiques : Ceramics, Porcelain : Limoges, Bavaria, German

 

This nut bowl is gorgeous! The blackberries are done in a deep purple and, against the simple white background, just seem to pop out at you. They are complemented by the warm copper, burnt orange, and yellow of the leaves. The whole perimeter of the bowl is highly scalloped and generously gilded. The blackberries, as well as the leaves and stems, are also enhanced by a touch of gold. The artist, ‘Yaney’, has signed the face of the bowl.

The underside is stamped with ‘M. Z. Austria’ and ‘White’s Art Co., Chicago, Hand Painted’, dating this bowl to the beginning of the 20th century. It is in excellent condition with no chips, nicks, cracks, or repairs and the gilding is also in excellent condition with minimal wear.

Dimensions: 9.25” long x 7.25” wide x 2” high.
