SOLD Gorgeous Old German Majolica Bird & Grapes 2-Handled Serving Platter

Pottery : Majolica : German

 

I am very pleased to offer this beautiful German majolica serving oval serving platter in the very popular “bird & grapes”(also known as “bird & berries”) motif. There were originally made by Georg Schmider of Zell am Hammersbach around the turn of the century and well into the 20’s. The pattern remained quite popular and continued to be produced by a variety of potteries. Pieces made after WWII can be identified by the specification of “West Germany’ in the marking, as in this case, “Made in West Germany Highmount MSD”; it also bears the impressed number 230 and the printed number 94.. This platter likely dates to the 1950’s. It measures 12” long and 7 ¼” wide. It is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines, repairs, etc. In short, a lovely addition to your collection! Shipping weight: 3 lb. 12 oz. (Location: MB1)
