Seller: heatherguanajuato ✉️ (300) 100%, Location: Geelong West, Victoria, AU, Ships to: AU, Item: 275189083331 Vintage Bavarian Royal Vienna Style Bowl or Ashtray. Leni Parbus bought blanks from potteries and decorated them. German porcelain was of high quality and also cheaper than English china. So much so that in 1887 in the UK and 1890 in the US, laws were passed making it necessary to declare country of origin. Vintage possibly antique Bavarian Royal Vienna style bowl or ashtray, with the Double P mark on base. This was for Porzellanmalerei Parbus, a small decorating studio in Oberkotzau, Bavaria, Germany, started in 1904 by Leni Parbus, and continued by her son Erich. Parbus Studios items were all hand decorated. Leni Parbus bought blanks from potteries and decorated them. Her backstamp is caller a "cover-up" mark because it covers up the original manufacturers mark. This pretty porcelain bowl is beautifully decorated with a transfer application based on an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard, with additional hand painted gilt trim. German porcelain was of high quality and also cheaper than English china. So much so that in 1887 in the UK and 1890 in the US, laws were passed making it necessary to declare country of origin. The snag was, the threat of war was constantly bubbling and the English speaking countries tended to want to avoid German porcelain if possible. But in practice, the country of origin law turned out to be in the favour of the German makers simply because their produce was generally of such high quality and relatively low comparable prices. Later, new laws would force them to add the words 'foreign' or 'Germany' to their new pottery markings. This item likely dates to the 1920s or 1930s. It is in wonderful condition for possibly 100 years old and has no chips or cracks or crazing. Measures: 11cm x 8cm x 2cm. Also listed elsewhere. Prefer pick-up but can post very well packaged with Australia Post if required.
