RS Prussia 11" Handled Oyster or Cake Plate w/ Pink Peonies Poppies Flowers ANTQ

Description

For almost 100 years, 1869 to 1956, Reinhold Schlegelmilch's initials, RS, appeared in various marks on fine German porcelain. Probably today's
most desired pieces are those marked RS Prussia
. C
ommon floral pieces have routinely sold for -0.
The vast majority of original decorations– whether portraits, flowers, landscapes, animals, birds– were transfers. Handwork, if used, was primarily to blend the edges of the transfer images into the background and apply gold or enamel trim. All transfer decorations are over the glaze. Distinctive blanks featured molded designs of flowers, fruits, icicles and geometric shapes. Values of authentic pieces are based on a combination of blank, decoration and mark.
Genuine RS Prussia marks have red letters, a red star and red outlines to the wreath.
Leaves in the wreath usually appear green. Red areas can look rusty brown.  This is exactly like the one shown on the back of this dish!
This RS Prussia Oyster or Cake Plate / Shallow Serving Dish measures 11" diameter and 1-5/8" high.
There is a fine crack as shown in photo one in the lower right corner.  It does not reach an edge.
This is well over 100 years old and is a nice DECORATIVE piece!
