Antique Signed R.S. Germany Hand-Painted "White Poppy" Relish Dish
A quintessential example of early 20th-century German porcelain, this elegant celery or relish dish was crafted by the renowned Reinhold Schlegelmilch (R.S.) factory. Featuring a delicate, hand-painted "White Poppy" motif, the dish is characterized by its sophisticated cream-to-yellow ombre ground and intricate "washboard" style ruffled sides. The piece is finished with charming pierced handles, showcasing the fine artisanal craftsmanship for which R.S. Germany is celebrated. This authentic piece of "Grandmacore" servingware is as functional as it is beautiful, perfect as a vanity trinket tray or a sophisticated addition to a dinner service. The base features the authentic green R.S. Germany wreath hallmark.

A refined and beautifully preserved survivor of the Art Nouveau era, this signed R.S. Germany dish adds a touch of classic European heritage to any curated collection.
