RS Germany Porcelain Relish Dish withHand Painted Native American Detail
This vintage RS Germany porcelain relish dish is quite unique.
Many of the RS Prussia/Germany pieces depict flowers and animals, however, this relish dish has two native American Indians in head dress on both ends- each face is slightly different as you can see in pictures. The dish is a creamy ivory color with gold edging and has an oblong shape both decorative and useful. Great size for decor, serving, small soaps or a jewelry tray.
It is marked RS Germany in blue and has no chips or cracks.
It measures 1" x 8" x 3 1/2"
Throughout its history, the R.S. Prussia company manufactured a wide range of china pieces and sets, including teapots, cups and saucers, plates, sugar bowls, and even chocolate sets. Most pieces were decorated with imitation opals, gold, or iridescent finishes and features paintings of flowers, portraits, or scenes from nature which were applied through lithographic transfers. Later pitchers and vases pieces, influenced by Art Nouveau, had arms and handles with designs similar to the borders on posters by Alphonse Mucha.
Reinhold Schlegelmilch produced what collectors consider to be R.S. Prussia (RSP for short) in his factory in Suhl, Germany, from the late 1800s through World War I. Following the war, the factory moved to Tillowitz, Germany, and after World War II the factory once again shifted venue, this time to Poland. R.S. Prussia pieces were and continue to be highly valued, though individual pieces may be more or less expensive depending on a number of factors.
Those pieces marked "R.S. Prussia" in red lettering surrounded by a green wreath were made at the turn of the last century. This is sometimes referenced as the "red mark" by collectors. It remains the most popular and recognized mark among fans of this type of porcelain, although a number of others were used
