Antique 19th Century European Porcelain Pitcher - Cranberry Red & Gilt
A stunning example of Victorian-era decorative arts, this elegant porcelain ewer features a vibrant cranberry red ground adorned with elaborate raised cream enamel scrollwork and hand-painted gilt accents. The classic Rococo Revival form is highlighted by a "pinched" pouring spout and an ornate, multi-scrolled handle. The base features an authentic incised number "30," a hallmark of 19th-century European porcelain production used as a factory mold or size identifier. Likely of French (Limoges) or Bohemian origin, this piece captures the opulence of old-world craftsmanship.
Dimensions:
Height: 9.25"
Width: Approx. 5.5" (including handle)
Depth: Approx. 4.5"
Condition:
Very Good antique condition. The vibrant red ground and raised enamel work are remarkably well-preserved with a high-gloss finish. There is minor, age-appropriate thinning to the gold gilding along the rim and high points of the handle, consistent with over a century of use. The structural integrity is excellent, with no visible chips or hairline cracks. The base shows honest shelf wear typical of its age.
A sophisticated and timeless decorative statement piece, ideal for a formal dining setting or as a focal point in a curated antique collection.
