CT Carl Tielsch Germany 13" Decorative Bowl. Measures 13 1/2" by 9" and is about 3" in height. Very good condition with some rubbing on the gold edges.
This grand porcelain serving bowl, crafted by the renowned Carl Tielsch factory in Altwasser, Germany, is a breathtaking example of late 19th-century European craftsmanship. Measuring an impressive thirteen inches, the bowl features a dynamic, undulating scalloped rim that gives the piece a sense of movement and architectural interest. The interior is adorned with lush, hand-applied floral transfers of romantic roses in varying stages of bloom, surrounded by delicate sprigs of greenery. The heavy molding of the porcelain creates a tactile, petal-like texture that catches the light beautifully, highlighting the classic German porcelain quality.
This piece is a perfect anchor for a Scholarly Farmhouse dining room, offering a sense of heritage and grounded elegance to a large harvest table. It also fits seamlessly into a Space Age-era collection that appreciates the revival of maximalist Victorian forms. While the gold gilt along the edges shows some honest wear from decades of use, this "rubbing" only enhances its vintage soul and authenticates its long history. Its substantial size makes it an ideal statement piece for a sideboard or as a centerpiece for a formal gathering. Holding this bowl, one feels the weight of history and the dedication to beauty that defined the CT Altwasser legacy.
This item is antique, over 100 years old.
