Antiques : Ceramics, Porcelain : Rs Prussia : Desk Accessories : Pen Rests

 

Very rare and very fabulous RS Prussia porcelain pen rest. Outstanding Art Nouveau mold, elaborate Victorian excessiveness at it's finest. Beautifully painted with pink and mauve embossed daisy flowers and embossed trailing green leaves on each end. Pink roses and white daisies decorate both sides. Overall pastel green shading and sponged gold highlights. The only one we have ever found, so rare that an example is not found in any of our RS Prussia books. It is RS Prussia Mold OM (old mold) 162. The piece stands 2 3/4" tall and measures 3 1/2" in length. It is unmarked, and was made by the RS Prussia factory during the Victorian period circa 1880. Excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or hairlines. A rare and outstanding, and never before documented example. We first listed this rare item as a knife rest, but we now know for sure it is a desk accessory, it is a pen rest. (Special thanks to Lee & Carol Marple, who identified it correctly for us).
